Our New Recycled Putter Plastic!

[@stephenfrancais]

Love the episodes where you get nerdy about plastic itself. Awesome stuff

[@rynoturtle]

My wife is so AWESOME. She ordered me this and 3 new minis. I already have 2 inner-cores and love them, and I can't wait to try this new plastic.

[@JesseJ588]

I'm pretty much done buying new discs at this point in my life. Except for your stuff. Can't wait to grab a couple of these.

[@jmillydg]

So stoked for the whole trash panda lineup!

[@shigjetar]

I really like my first run Inner Core and it's great to putt with, but grip on the TPU is really slick in the wet so I'm stoked to try these! Edit: Got mine today and I had to report back. These feel AMAZING. I didn’t like the TPU much, but I loved the mold. The baseline plastic putts so well, the perfect combination of grip, soft touch, and stiffness. Knocked it out of the park Trash Panda!

[@jessicagallant3443]

Cheers man couldn't be happier that you and your big brain are part of disc golf helping the planet one disc at a time

[@tckoppang]

Absolutely love the mission at TP. Keep up the good work!

[@connorbatts5598]

i live in co springs and it makes me so happy seeing trash panda stickers on poles at the course

[@DerSkaBoss]

bringing dyeable plastic blends to the putter market space deserves a huge HONK

[@SwankyDiscGolf]

Absolute sick man! Loved the breakdown of what goes into baseline plastic and the thought process behind creating a new one. Super rad 🤘

[@BoondockSaintRyan]

Congrats on the new plastic and the positive review from Erika Stinchcomb. The "Where do I start" question has been killing me when it comes to disc golf plastic. Blends and recipes are obviously a trade secret, but I was always hesitant to talk blends with my sponsor (Daredevil Discs) because I didn't know what they used or what to suggest when it came to tweaking things. I spent 5 years in Automotive Thermoplastics, but couldn't find anything on base plastics and what anyone uses. This is a huge help. Cheers

[@lanceb7556]

Erika is awesome!

[@JonnyEsports]

Okay, I said I wasn't going to switch putting putters for the third time this year but... I may have to try this to support it!

[@ibanezrg7421]

Holding one at the 303 Open was a treat. Definitely one of the better base plastics I've ever got to hold. Nice balance of grip/gumminess/stiffness.

[@jonasspiro6476]

I'd love to see a video on how that halo dye was done. It looks awesome!

[@basp-ef7jx]

I just played my first 5 under round. Thanks in part to Trash panda, I was so focused on picking up trash that round I hardly thought about the score. Got two bags of trash of the course. Cheers. Still looking forward to the midrange, just sayin.

[@flyingo]

Glad I grabbed one as soon as I saw that these were available. My boys and I (2nd Shot Disc Golf) are happy to support Trash Panda Discs!

[@g00dvibe]

Yessss. The premium Inner Core is already one of my favorite discs and I've been looking to switch away from my PA-3s as my every day putter. Just ordered 5. I also told my local shop (Wright Life I'm Fort Collins) to stock your discs! Would be nice to avoid shipping when I am so close to HQ. Boom.

[@jackofnone32]

Jesse, my brand new Renu Disc Golf bag (that you recommended) was delivered to my doorstep just a few minutes before this video dropped. *Karma* The putter pocket is going to be filled with new baseline Inner Cores as soon as they get to my house. Throw recycled and carry recycled! Thanks!! Cheers!✌🖖👊

[@ScroDiddly]

How's the bag?

[@jackofnone32]

The bag is EXCELLENT. Good size, good design, good construction, looks good, carries well. Very happy with it.

[@Thecaptron]

Got one on the way...the premium plastic is my favorite thrower and only ace disc...can't wait to see how this beats in!

[@Jackleber]

Great to see an awesome pro using the discs!

[@wreagin1]

Got one. Stoked to try it on the green and off the tee!

[@paddiography]

Never bought something so quick. Even got a snap back while I was at it! Super excited for you, man. Congrats!

[@duck075]

Hell Yes! Trash Panda and a Goose to boot!

[@okcboomer87]

Just bought mine. I wasn't around for your last batches. Cant wait to try it.

[@chrisross9799]

Really incredible job with these. They feel amazing.

[@michaelrunge1922]

Can't wait to get mine. The premium Inner Cores are so money for me now. Baseline plastic is nice for damp weather. Really interested in seeing these in action

[@DougDunfee]

Can't wait to try em out!!

[@silverfoxdiscgolf]

This is phenomenal!

[@williamquinn5778]

My friend got one since he is a patreon supporter. Personally I'm a fan of the eMac judge but this still felt great in my hand and the flexibility and tack was perfect. If I were to switch putters again I'd definitely be buying some of these! Great job Jesse and the Trash Panda team!!!

[@keepsafebandpa]

Ordered one and a seconds mini too! Cant wait to get this out there!

[@collsitton6905]

Im switching putters now so im excited to pick three of these up and learn em

[@caseysmith544]

That looks exactly like the Proline or the Baseline plastics that Lighting had in the 2000's before the owner died. Similar to the very soft and flexible runs of DX. The plastic outside of basline that had the most bleadthorugh was of softer in grip runs KC Pro or the Julina Korver Putter, the R-Pro, and last the Lighting Proline plastic due to how those can be a bit translucent in lighter weights and closer to a baseline plastic then a Star the way Pro is almost like the old Star line, a recyled Star made right before the Pro Tour discs in Star came out.

[@palletwizard]

Gimme gimme gimmie! I don’t care if it’s base line

[@Jasha127]

Picked up two! Looking forward to giving them a shot at replacing my current putters 👌🏻

[@coreyvalek2691]

Just ordered 4. Thank you

[@enclavevideo]

I bought an inner core first run because I fw the vision, then i threw it and it went straight into my throwing putter slot.

[@HenryBrewer1]

Bought two! Hoping to replace my current putting putters with my favorite brand!!

[@anthonyschutz7201]

I believe calcium carbonate is the standard material for chalk. It's a totally natural material, love the ways you add natural materials.

[@kylethecreator]

What a well executed and easily understandable explanation! I can't imagine how fun it must be to run a disc golf business Jesse. I had another idea for a disc I want to make now...a disc combined with a drone so you can throw it and then fly it!

[@anthonyschutz7201]

Cant wait until this is available in the seconds line. I dont like spending $20 on discs ive never handled but totally fine with $10 to check out a new disc with a new consept as well.

[@ruckeddeadup]

The grip was the only downside when I tested the two original Inner Cores you guys sent me for my project, and it makes me feel like you did this just for me! (I know you didn't though, lol) Can't wait to try them out! Thanks again, Trash Panda!

[@andrewwood8554]

So stoked on this bro! Keep up the good work

[@JD-qd2kx]

Pearls also are nearly made of 100% calcium carbonate!!! Neat to think of, thanks for the video as always Jesse!

[@19SkullCrusher]

Glad I just ordered one :) Love your stuff Jesse

[@chaneyhouk5950]

Congrats!

[@zachSS199]

This is awesome! Super excited for you guys.

[@TravisL303]

I immediately ordered. Can’t wait to putt with these!

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

Dyes can bleed through discs (including for premium plastic like K1, Tournament, and Royal Grand) but yeah, with base plastics you'll see that a lot sooner.

[@rka319]

Got two on the way!

[@bobbybobman3073]

Good to know these are officially hot goose enjoyed.

[@Mark-ro5zg]

I have a premium innercore, Hoping Jesse will come out with a mid-range disc soon.

[@Bestpolevaulter]

How confident are you guys that you’ll be able to keep these coming? Cause I bought some and I plan on keeping them as my main putter for the foreseeable future. And i don’t want to not be able to get more in the future

[@zackp6794]

Is the TPE used post consumer plastic? Is there anyway to make discs out of a bio plastic so we can get away from regular plastics completely?

[@choiie]

Erika HOONK! We miss you at Westside but a Trash Panda sponsorship might be the only thing trumping it!!?

[@bmurphy6418]

Just ordered 3. Let’s gooooo

[@rort]

Any restock update on the premium plastic?

[@TrashPandaDiscGolf]

We're working on it, but it'll be a minute. You can check with our retail partners: trashpandadiscgolf.com/pages/become-a-retail-partner

[@stevielewonder6944]

I love the way it feels. However it's worth noting that this putter plastic gets SUPER slick when wet, which is the opposite of what I've experienced with others. It's kind of a moot point cause I'm not putting with a wet disc tho.

[@raddaks2039]

I made the mistake of putting a premium core in my cart and then not checking out immediately, as it sold out before I got back to it. Glad to say I didn't make that mistake twice.

[@ethenjordan2010]

Well now I have a day one Inner Core as well as the premium.

[@marcusshugarman3588]

Definitely getting one

[@YersiniaPestisNPO]

Love this.

[@mikestofmikes]

Anyone else stopped the video at 5:23 to immediately order their putters? Can’t be just me.

[@jackofnone32]

Yup. Me too buddy!

[@robertreed711]

Here's a silly question. Does dying the disc affect the recyclability?

[@teambertjohnnysdiscgolf]

trash panda is, well… the best disc golf brand in the entire world

[@benlaforge3838]

Does the amount of calcium carbonate in the disc offset the cost of the TPE? I know in general baseline discs cost less than premium plastic ($17 vs $22 in your case), but I’m curious if that’s actually due to cost of materials or if that’s just a supply/demand thing.

[@ScroDiddly]

It is pretty expensive for a disc.....but I doubt the calcium is expensive at all..I'm just guessing it's pricier because of the small business aspect.

[@JuanJimenez-od1ho]

Ordered!

[@simon_1798]

Sweet!

[@ShookLivin]

Video came out 30 minutes ago. They already sold out, congrats on making a difference man

[@allenblack3451]

Hell yeah 10 packs pls

[@adamchittle6443]

Ordered

[@clnfreakone8486]

Awesome …How many takes did intro take we want to know 😂😂

[@evanlawrence3741]

So the Inner Core (Premium) is only 100% recycled premium plastics and the Inner Core (Baseline) is only 100% recycled base plastics. Is this correct?

[@jimneugebauer219]

Love it

[@rexus72]

I am going to dye my to look like a TUMS tablet😆

[@ScroDiddly]

B-b-but i JUST bought my LAST disc!!😊

[@Disc_gD]

why are there only 2 colors for your inner cores :(

[@dmb_playz3466]

Is this pdga approved

[@lastchanceihave]

Same flight numbers?

[@TrashPandaDiscGolf]

Yes!

[@colinfrederick9033]

My wallet is very upset with you for doing this, but I'm super excited about ordering them nonetheless.

[@TrashPandaDiscGolf]

🤣

[@colinfrederick9033]

@@TrashPandaDiscGolf I've received the discs and after feeling them my wallet has officially forgotten the hurt.

[@Itz_Me_Joey]

Was that intro first take🤔😂

[@raidernut24]

Insert the *TAKE MY MONEY FRY MEME* Here

[@ErsatzCoyote]

I think you're really underselling calcium carbonate in this one. Obviously it's very important that it doesn't interfere with recyclability, but it's also important that it isn't hard to source relatively locally. If you needed to use 'salt of bismuth' or some other relatively rare mineral that required you to ship it's constituent parts in from some deep mining operation in Australia or Bolivia than it kind of negates a lot of the environmental benefits. But calcium carbonate isn't that. In fact, it's one of the easiest to source minerals because it's goddamn everywhere. It's chalk, it's limestone, it's seashells. If your part of the world was ever underwater for any geological scale of time, chances are it has accessible calcium carbonate. In practicum, the farthest you'll need to go to find calcium carbonate on an industrial scale is like maybe a few states. As a mineral additive, it would be hard to find a more ecologically sound one.

[@palletwizard]

Just got my IC in the mail today. I wonder why it makes marks when it hits chains? Kinda wish it wasn’t so soft. I’m gonna have to try to be careful. Very excited to take it into the wild! Thanks Jesse and for the cool stickers and your packaging is the best!

[@thorarin7537]

Why baseline plastic if it's more complicated? I'm confused. 🤔

[@ericdunthorne1981]

My local course in Colorado Springs is littered with your stickers. Please ask the people you are handing out stickers to. To only stick them on their own property.

[@matthewviglucci7003]

HONK

[@k.squared]

TPE typically contains phthalates, which are extremely harmful to the environment. Plus, the code 7 it gets, means "other" and makes it fall into the same recycling category as many "other" plastics. The chances of it being recycled appear to be slim. Sure, this is still much better than no recycling code we get on all other discs on the market (which is literally insane, imho), but nots as good as TPU used for the "premium" ICs (and TPU is not environment friendly, to put it very mildly, either). IF DG wants to be sustainable (it's not even close atm), it must start promoting using the same discs for as long as possible instead of pushing the culture of disc hoarding. This is much more important than making sure the discs get a recycling code. However, I doubt this is possible. So I can't see DG becoming sustainable by itself. So I'm looking forward to regulators stepping in, even if that's not gonna change much without the community support, imho.
