 It's always fun to get a new mold in the shop. This week, after a long wait, we received not one but TWO new molds. The first mold out of the box is a companion to our switchplate cover below... recycled outlet covers. These took a bit of designing from our friends at Sustainable Design Studios in the UK. Since the US uses a completely different power system than the UK and EU, we had to send several covers to Rory to take measurements from. Just like the switchplates, he created a model in Fusion360, which was sent to one of his UK partners for fabrication. All this happens overseas, so the entire process took some time. But they finally arrived this week, and the finished product looks great. They're a perfect complement to our switchplates, and now that we have these in hand, we can start Rory on our next mold, which will be (by popular demand) double switchplates. It turns out that a lot of homes need these, and we've got a lot of requests.   And just for good measure, we also ordered a pen mold. While this only uses a small amount of plastic, it's a nice item that will be good to have. Up to now, our recycled items have only been for sale locally. But if you'd like to materially support the TybeeCleanBeach mission, you will soon be able to order recycled items from the Tybee Island Marine Science Center website. TIMSC has been one of our wholesale partners for a few years now. They plan to increase their web presence, and TCB is proud to be a part of that effort.
