Training & Experimentation
Learning by doing: experiment, prototype and spread recycling solutions.
Our FabLabs and Recycling Schools in the field host students, technicians and trainers so they master every step of plastic recycling, from raw material to finished product.
A programme built for students and teachers, young professionals, informal waste workers and early-stage social enterprises.
Our objectives
01
Experimentation and prototyping
Test new recovery techniques and design products that answer real needs on the ground.
02
Practical skills and know-how
Build concrete technical and operational skills that apply directly to local recycling initiatives.
03
R&D applied to community needs
Explore new recycling processes and products designed to answer concrete local challenges (housing, health, public infrastructure).
04
Collaboration between players
Bring together universities, training centres, public institutions and local projects to learn and build together.
Tools to learn and innovate
Recycling FabLab
Campus recycling workshops where students experiment with plastic processing, prototype solutions and run applied circular-economy projects.
Youth For Future
Mobilise students to explore, test and share solutions through awareness actions, challenges and campus initiatives.
Recycling School
Hands-on learning spaces where technicians, operators and future trainers build practical recycling skills under real production conditions.
Our projects

Awareness
& Impact Collection
Before recycling systems can emerge, communities need to understand the problem, see solutions in action, and organise to collect plastic in a structured way.
Entrepreneurship
& Incubation
Supporting local changemakers by strengthening their ability to design, launch and sustain recycling initiatives suited to their own territories.
