SCHOOL WORKSHOPS
You know what’s really cool about our workshops highlighting the value of plastic? We turn your everyday household waste into new products right on the spot.
In the workshop we explore the world of plastic together, learn about different types of plastic and how to distinguish between them. We understand why the different types of plastic are important and how they can be kept in the recycling loop in the long term.
We are aware that schools are on a tight budget and are committed to making the workshops possible for you. That's why we are especially happy about our collaboration with Adidas, who will cover the costs of your plastic avoidance workshop. We also offer other options - just send us a request and we will clarify the details.
Project Week
One workshop is not enough for you? Do you have several classes for which the topic of plastic avoidance is relevant? Then we would be happy to organise a project week together with you.
We have a range of different topics in our repertoire that we can customise to your wishes. The result: an exciting project week that will stay with the students.
Upcycling Theme Workshop
Turn old into new. In our themed workshops, we make new items from our rubbish.
For example, beautiful lanterns made from a TetraPak, jewellery made from bottle caps or a picture frame made from old plastic packaging. Feel free to contact us with your wishes.
Be part of it!
Together we can change the future by reshaping the way we deal with plastic waste. Our plastic recycling workshops enable businesses and schools to work with, educate and inspire the next generation of environmentally conscious people.
