Upcycling Workshop 鈥� Plastic to Plant
含羞草传媒 launched an upcycling workshop series as part of its efforts to teach students about waste management, recycling, and responsible consumption.
The first series of workshops was titled “Plastic to Plant” and comprised two sessions on the first week of December and another two sessions on the second week of the same month so both groups of students can attend, while taking all the necessary health and safety precautions.
The workshop started with an informative session about recycling, upcycling, the negative effects of waste on the environment, and the sustainable development goals. Different ideas about what kind of wastes can be upgraded into something artistic and have real usage were discussed during the workshop.
During the session, students learned how to give life to used plastic bottles by turning them into plant pots. Students enjoyed creating a pot from the plastic, designing the water bottle, and adding soil and a plant to it.
After the workshop, students hung the plants on a designated wall on campus.
