Products
The Products division aims to show the wider public how plastics can be recycled and reused into new and exciting pieces. Students experiment to create new products out of shredded plastic, such as our Re-Stool. Fundamentally, the products division symbolises the recyclability of plastic waste.

This includes trialling alternate solutions to the plastic and food waste crisis through material testing, process and product development.
