What goes in
Junk mail, cereal and cracker boxes, paper packaging, and other clean paper products that would otherwise go straight to the recycling bin or the trash.
From bin to bench
Most craft dough is manufactured from new material and used once. Recycle Mashup works the other way: it starts with paper a household was already throwing away, and turns it into a material kids can shape, dry, and keep — or mash back down and start again.
That's the whole idea behind "enabling creativity through your recycling": the recycling bin isn't the end of a paper product's life. It's raw material for the next thing a kid decides to make.
What comes out
Smooth, moldable dough — no new paper pulp, plastic, or synthetic clay is manufactured to make it. The material is whatever paper a family already has on hand.
How it is packaged
The kit itself ships in the same kind of recyclable cardboard it teaches kids to mash, so the packaging can become raw material too.
Built to be reused, not just recycled
Dough that dries out or doesn't turn out right isn't wasted — it can go right back through the Recycle Masher with a fresh splash of Dough Slime. The same machine that made it can remake it, which means one kit supports a lot more creativity than a single-use craft box.
