YEP....It is really plastic!
BELIEVE IT OR NOT....We get this question often:
So is it really recycled plastic?

Yep, it is real genuine plastic cut from common household containers.  
We
dissect the containers using scissors and then hand cut the flat portions into
the shapes used to make our jewelry.  

And like chicken....there's good parts and bad parts of the containers we use.  
Flat sections are good....curved sections are not.
Example: Not so good -
curved sections are thick
and too hard to cut.
Example:  Good parts are flat so they
fit in our die and as a bonus have
awesome colored labels!
