WHAT STARTED AS A MISSION TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM HAS EVOLVED INTO A MOVEMENT FOR CHANGE.

After spending 6,000+ hours combing beaches and analysing data, we had became experts on litter. We tracked pollution patterns, identified the major sources, and found the culprits. But despite our efforts to rally local businesses, councils, and government, the problem persisted. That’s when we knew: it was time to focus on solutions.

In December 2022, we took a leap and made plastics education our full-time mission. We joined the Precious Plastic network, equipped ourselves with the right tools and machinery, and since then, we’ve inspired over 10,000 students through beach clean-ups and hands-on recycling workshops. Together, we’re turning waste into opportunity and shaping a generation of problem-solvers.

Reshaping Waste is a mobile initiative, available as a half-day or full-day experience for all levels of schooling. We come to you, equipped with plastic, machinery and our dynamic educators. All we need is an undercover space with access to power and a few trestle tables. School Halls, Science Labs, STEM rooms or large classrooms with windows for ventilation work well!

Cost is $25 + GST per student. Enquire via email to book.
