How can I get involved?
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!
You're a Verified Precious Plastic workspace - what does that mean?

Precious Plastic Melbourne was announced as one of the initial selection within the Verified program, and are the only Verified space in Australia.
We continue to work closely with Precious Plastic HQ, and support many spaces within the community.
