Key research insights:
✔ Global plastic consumption exceeds 460 million tonnes annually and is projected to reach 1,231 million tonnes by 2060 - yet only 9% of plastic waste is recycled. (OECD, 2022)
✔ 80% of a product’s environmental impact is decided at the design stage—we must rethink how we use and recycle plastic. (European Commission, 2022)
✔ Manufacturing with recycled plastic uses 70% less carbon and 75% less energy than virgin plastic. (Association of Plastic Recyclers, 2020)
The Plastic Revolution School Project connects businesses, schools, and communities driving real, measurable change.
How It Works: The Plastic Revolution Process
INSPIRE: We inspire an entire school community to collect their plastic waste, using our interactive recycling stations.
COLLECT: We process the plastic - sorting, shredding, and reforming it into beautiful, durable outdoor planters.
TRANSFORM: We deliver the planter back to the school, completing the full circular economy journey and showcasing the power of plastic transformation.

Impact per school (per half term):
33kg of plastic waste is repurposed - kept out of landfill.43kg of CO2e/kg is saved - lowering emissions.

Real Voices, Real Impact
“This project has given our pupils hands-on experience of recycling and creativity. It’s been inspiring to see how plastic waste can become something so beautiful and useful.”
— Mrs. Aldridge, Headteacher, South Wilford Endowed C of E Primary School“I thought plastic was just a daily thing you use. I didn’t think much about it. I learned about the different types of plastic and what they are used for. Since we had a bin at school, I brought some plastic from home to recycle.”
— Year 6 pupil“Media portrays plastic as a bad thing, but gaining more knowledge about the plastic industry and what can be achieved made me excited to work with plastic and think of better ways to use it without harming the environment.”
— Student from a Future Makers workshop
