EDUCATION

We deliver transformative plastic education programs

We believe in the principle that if something has value, it no longer becomes rubbish. Our educational and training programs, that are delivered through schools, community groups and government, are built around this principle. We encourage plastic to be seen as a precious resource that shouldn’t be thrown away and to eliminate single use plastic, substitute plastic use and circulate what you must use.
