PPM Exhibition Night will be a showcase of everything PPM has been working on in 2024! Through a variety of stalls, the team will demonstrate how plastics can be cleaned, sorted, shredded and reformed into something new, as well as the machines we use, product design processes and investigations into alternative materials to plastics.

PPM's Exhibition Night will include plenty of time to wander and interact with each of the stalls, and there will be a raffle where attendees can enter the draw to win a Re-Stool created by the team!

Light refreshments and drinks will be available on the night. Please let us know below about any dietary requirements so that we can cater for everyone.

We would like to warmly invite your school to the Precious Plastic Monash 2022 Schools Day.

This event aims to educate students about plastic as a precious material. We will be learning about the material properties of plastic, the uses of plastics and the plastic recycling process at both the Precious Plastic level and Australia wide.

This will be an interactive session where students will be given the chance to ask questions about both plastics as well what we do at Precious Plastic Monash and studying at Monash University.

We invite secondary students from schools in Melbourne to attend this FREE event which will be held at the Monash University Clayton Campus.

Session times are as follows: Tuesday 3rd May 1pm-4pm Secondary School groups.

We have ONLY have 30 places left in the secondary school session so sign up fast.

We are launching a set of resources for primary teachers that will provide you with all our expertise in STEM and Sustainability, directly linked to the Victorian Curriculum, for free. The Primary School Resource Package will go live on our website on Saturday the 18th of September, and will include:
- Eighteen interactive lesson plans
- Learning Sequences that summarise the topics, curriculum links, assessment objectives and expected lesson progressions
- Slide decks to complement each lesson

To celebrate, we will be hosting an event on the 18th of September 2021! The event is free but exclusively for teachers, and limited to 30 attendees maximum. All attendees will receive an in depth briefing of the materials, a chance to ask us questions, and be sent a gift bag via post!

Our Schools Day went virtual!

We hosted students from all over Melbourne as our team ran activities in the STEM field. Due to the lockdown in Melbourne, we had to hybridise our day, which made us adapt and overcome challenges.

With more than 50 attendees, our Outreach team were able to make a significant impact on the attendees perception towards plastic. One of the best things we do at PPM is making change in the lives of our community, and by hosting schools days, we not only make a difference, but have a great time doing it.

We attended one of our favourite markets, the local market in Elwood! It was a beautiful autumnal day where we showcased our purchasable recycled plastic products, including tangrams, dog tags, earrings and clocks. The market is ran at the local school in Elwood and featured many other unique and artisan stores. We had meaningful conversations with many attendees and were able to educate the community about our engineering-based research.

Work with our team members to create a product made from recycled plastic, which you can keep as a reminder of the power of recycling! Learn about what we do at PPM and how you can contribute to solving global plastic pollution.

Great activity for families!
