There a number of ways you can get involved in the micro-recycling movement! We've added a few ideas below:

• Join your local Lids4Kids Facebook group, and collect discarded plastic lids (which are then sent on to micro-recyclers)

• Start a recycling workshop at your school / community group / small business (we offer a variety of machinery, accessories and plastic to help get you started)

• Or simply find and support your local micro-recycler by purchasing a product or even engaging with them on social media / sharing their initiatives with your friends and family!
