Sustainability Week Pop Up Shop
Tuesday 27th February 2024
Harrison Hughes Building
Join our student led Circular Economy Project team for their pop-up shop as part of Sustainability Week 2024.
​
After the triumph of their initial pop-up shop in November, we're thrilled to announce another edition during the university's Sustainability Week. The team have designed and 3D printed a diverse selection of products using recycled plastic collected on campus, closing the circular loop by selling items back to students, thus establishing a circular economy. Explore the full range, from bottle openers to phone stands, all offered at fantastic value. Join us in making a sustainable impact – don't miss this opportunity!
​
All proceeds donated to ACSIL.
Our first Pop-up shop!
Join us on Thursday, 12th October for our first pop-up shop. We will be selling a range of products, designed and 3D printed by the team from recycled plastic. This pop-up shop closes the loop by selling products back to the students from waste collected on campus. Hence creating a circular economy. Don't miss this chance to make a sustainable impact!

Creative Plastics Recycling Workshop
Come on a little plastic adventure with Plastic Tactics in Abercromby Square on Tuesday 21 February from 12pm-1pm. Shred, melt and make using our low-tech equipment to turn scrappy plastic into colourful new things. We will be doing a short talk and a demonstration making carabiners, which you can take home!
If you would like, bring a small amount of clean bottle tops to shred and melt into something brand new - potentially even some from the independently-organised litter pick around Smithdown Road earlier on the day. Otherwise, use some of the community-sourced bits we have collected and cleaned ready for you to explore.
​
Some of the team will be joining Plastic Tactics to help turn your waste into something new!
