Melted plastic is generally non-toxic and usually a pain to remove. It is generally disposed of as trash, as it cannot really be re-used.

How is plastic melted?

Plastic is melted by applying thermal energy -- heat. Plastic "bits" are dumped into a hopper, and a screw type feed mechanism forces them through a heated section of the screw housing. Resistance heating elements are used, and they convert electricity to heat energy to melt the plastic. The temperature is controlled by electronics, and run appropriately for the type of plastic being melted. This melted plastic is then forced out the end into molds in a process called injection molding.
