Abstract: The purpose of this project was to assist the Ecological Justice Hub in their efforts to begin their plastics recycling program to recycle bottle caps. We helped set up and create an assembly line, co-designed and prototyped recycled products and story-telling packaging, set up demonstration workshops, and created instructional materials to train future Ecological Justice Hub employees and volunteers on our process. This program aims to promote social change outcomes such as: community awareness, education, and changes in recycling behavior.
