Learn about the Precious Plastic Movement in Montréal and the sustainable production of plastic objects made from local and community generated waste material. Félix will present Concordia's Precious Plastic Project (CP3) and its partner Atelier Écodesign from Cégep du Vieux Montréal, discussing how these organizations operate differently from your typical household recycling stream and why this matters.
This presentation will highlight the challenges and successes of this community-based approach to plastic recycling.
