"Precious Plastic Melbourne played an integral role in the successful development and implementation of our small-scale circular economy plastic recycling program. Piers, Kayla and the team demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our cause from the very beginning. Their support and training of our lead staff was nothing short of exceptional. They patiently guided us through the intricacies of plastic recycling, ensuring that we felt confident and well-equipped to oversee the program effectively.

"From the moment Bill arrived, it was evident that he was passionate about his work and committed to educating young minds about the importance of recycling and sustainability. His enthusiasm was infectious, immediately capturing the attention and curiosity of our students. Bill began the session by sharing his extensive knowledge about plastic pollution and its detrimental effects on the environment. He explained the significance of reducing plastic waste and finding innovative ways to repurpose it. The information was presented in a manner that was engaging, age-appropriate, and easy to understand, ensuring that every student was actively involved. The highlight of the day was the hands-on workshop, where students had the opportunity to witness the transformation of plastic waste into useful items, which left our students in awe. The visit from Precious Plastic Melbourne was an invaluable addition to our curriculum." Angela Fattore, Grade 6 Teacher, Burwood East Primary School

"Piers' presentations were amazing. All the kids were so engaged and fascinated, and all the teachers loved it too! While they were all waiting to make their carabiners, they drew some wonderful pictures of the process. An amazing business creating useful products from recycled bottle tops! Everyone needs to see the wonderful creations and be a part of the process to reduce landfill and give plastic a new lease on life instead of being used as landfill and polluting our oceans and environment! Thank you Piers from Eastwood Primary School." Marina Stahl, Environmental Educator, Eastwood Primary School

"The Precious Plastics presentation was a brilliant experience for students and for staff who are very new to this area of technology. Students loved the opportunity to learn more about where plastics come from, how plastics are classified and why they are all different. It was clear that many of them took the information at a very deep level and were keen to learn more. The opportunity to participate in hands on activities using the equipment that is used in industry to produce their own recycled plastic objects was particularly helpful. Students clearly found the session quite inspirational." Julie Wetherbee, Leader of Learning - Science, Carey Grammar Baptist School

The team were great at explaining the ideas behind Precious Plastic as well as the considerations and challenges that arise during the process. The students really loved the experience of seeing a real world design/manufacture business, working in sustainability. They got an overview of the design, prototyping and manufacturing processes. The hands on workshop was excellent also to get a tangible sense of what PPM is working towards. Definitely recommend to other university and school groups!"
