Precious Plastic hands-on recycling workshop

It's Plastic Free July, so come along to Beaumaris Library for an experiential, hands-on and practical drop-in workshop.

Precious Plastic Melbourne will demonstrate plastics recycling principles and practice using their innovative small-scale reprocessing equipment. Participants will transform waste plastic materials into new, functional products, such as a pen they can take home and keep. 

This session will provide insights into a critical area of knowledge for the future - Plastics, Recycling and Circular Economy, covering a variety of topics such as:
• The environmental impact of plastic
• The different types of plastic
• Recyclability of common plastics
• Potential applications for plastic 'waste'
• Circular Economy principles & practices
• UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Precious Plastics aim to empower organisations and communities to rethink the way we design, use, and reuse plastics, creating a circular economy for this ubiquitous commodity.
