Rethink Recycling Community (RRC) is a not-for-profit organisation, inspiring change through education and community involvement.
Rethink Recycling run educational incursions for schools, community groups, and corporations with a focus on post-consumer, single-use plastics. We use our interactive micro-machines and the story of a plastic lid to provide a first hand experience of the circular economy in action.
We take plastic lids that traditionally end up in landfill and our environment, and remanufacture them into products that have use and purpose. We include aged care and disability sector residents, amongst other disadvantaged groups, into our community to enhance our work and support their wellbeing.
