Take a break and play with Plastics: Recycling and 3D printing pop-up

14th May 11:00 to 15:00
Stop by this pop-up to discover the wonderful world of plastics and how we can use innovative technologies like 3D Printing to tackle plastic waste. You can take home free stuff like a plastic plant pot!

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!
