WE RECYCLE! During the awareness process on how to reuse plastic waste at our hometown school for years, we have our kids collect bottle taps. Frankly, we never knew what has always happened with these taps, and so we thought it could be educating addressing our “taps” to a project that could actually come back to the school, so to show the kids what can really be done with waste, rather than collecting without ever knowing what happens with it. Since the school needed new washbasins we contacted ECOPIXEL with the question if our taps could become washbasins? After a few prototypes (and drawings we made with the kids) we now have new washbasins made from the plastic waste our kids collected themselves. As a result of our kidstudents now collect taps and other plastic waste with much more pleasure and purpose than ever before. The RO Guiltless Plastic Prize caught our attention to express our experience and participate with our project in the hope we can be of inspiration to all the schools in Italy and beyond. Products made with shredded bottletaps.
