Learn Plastic Recycling and Upcycling
by Apano Meria
Program Overview
Plastic has become invaluable in our everyday lives, but it is still viewed as single-use trash.
Become a volunteer at our Precious Plastic lab on Syros with Apano Meria SCE! Learn ways to extend the life cycle of plastic and play a crucial role in operating the recycling lab and turning plastic from waste into high-quality products. Join us in our quest to reduce plastic waste through recycling innovation and promote sustainability in Syros.
As a volunteer, you can access all workshops, seminars, and events organized by the SCE. You will live and work together (with up to 9 people at a time) on our base, interacting with people from all over the world.
Apply today to be a part of the solution to plastic pollution!
