Introducing the Mobile Solar Powered Plastic Upcycling Education Centre
Where You Bring Your Waste To Make Something New
Your Key to Sustainable Learning and Action! Empower your school, community or organisation with hands-on education, this innovative initiative brings the principles of the circular economy directly to your doorstep.
With the use of our interactive hand operated machines – shredder, injector and extruder – we take a plastic lid from waste to a new product.
Fitted out with TV’s, information is displayed on the screens while our volunteers & presenters answer questions from participants.
Complete with solar panels and batteries, the trailer can operate off-grid, without the need for mains power. Fully expanded the trailer has a footprint of 3x6m.
The frst step in the process, the Shredder shreds plastic lids so they can be used in the Injector and Extruder.
The Injector then heats and melts shredded plastic so it can be injected into a mould, via a single shot.
The Extruder also heats the shredded plastic so it can be extruded into a mould. It comes out like spaghetti.
All machines are hand operated to encourage active participation from the community – taking a waste item and upcycling it into a viable product.
Hands-on interactivity demonstrating how we use waste to make viable, functional products.
How your organisation or community can become a circular environment.
Ways we can all help rescue single-use plastics from the environment & landfill.
