Fabrica X partnered with The Ocean Material Group to host several Ocean Material Recycling Workshops and a mini-exhibition. All plastic waste used in the workshop series was collected locally from HSBC Clean Waterways Program‘s solar-powered boats and The Mills’ shopping mall, after which it was sent to New Life Plastics to be processed into flakes. During the workshops, participants experienced the fun of making everyday products from rulers to coasters using small-scale recycling machines.
Throughout the campaign period, 254 plastic bag upcycling workshops were also held and attended by close to 1,300 participants who made upcycled handicrafts- from cardholders and lampshades to Christmas ornaments- during the sessions.
