Take a break and play with Plastics: Recycling and 3D printing pop-up
This pop-up stall is a chance for you to play with plastics. Although plastics are a fantastic material with endless uses our culture of single use plastic needs to change!
This pop-up event hosted by the Plastic Shed, a social enterprise based in Stockport, is a space to come along and have a chat about our relationship with plastics.
At the pop-up you can take part in:
- Creating plastic bottle lid 3D printed clips artwork
- Playing with 3D printed ToBes
- Plant pot making with repurposed plastic
- Samples, including 3D prints, bottle lid sheets, and plastic bag creations.
You can even take home some of your creations. This pop-up is also your chance to learn about an exciting upcoming opportunity to be part of a sustainability hub of students from across Manchester!
