Workshops
We bring our portable mini-factory and demonstrate the entire recycling process in half an hour. This takes a piece of plastic waste through cleaning, sorting, shredding, moulding and finishing with a useful recycled plastic object.
Choose from a demonstration, school workshop, workplace workshop or customise to suit your needs!
