Precious Plastic – Plastic recycling workshop with Gaau1up
Facing the global plastic waste issue, Gaau1 Up believes that besides the development of recycling technology it is of even greater importance to educate the public to care for the environment. However, the general public has limited knowledge about plastic recycling. Narrowing this knowledge gap is the vision of Gaau1 Up. In this workshop, a Gaau1 Up team member will explain the plastic waste issue and help you better understand the sorting of plastic for recycling. You will learn how to turn plastic waste into flakes using the “Manual Shredder” and how to remould plastic with the “Injection Machine”. This workshop will be conducted by Gaau1 Up, a Hong Kong member of the Precious Plastic Community.
Approximate duration: 1 hr
Max capacity: 10 pax / workshop

Woolfiller – Fashion Repair workshop
Woolfiller turns holes and stains into opportunities. Heleen Klopper invented this beginner-friendly repair method using wool and felting needles: by sticking the felting needle into the wool and the garment the fibres bind together, creating a felt patch on the item. Named one of the best inventions of 2010 by Time Magazine, Woolfiller was created to make garment repair a participatory, creative and sustainable practice. Suggested items to bring for repair: sweaters, coats, thick socks, scarves, anything made at least partly from wool, even teddy bears!
Approximate duration: 2 hr
Max capacity: 15 pax / workshop
Fee: HKD 150/ head; HKD 240/ duo (price includes a Woolfiller repair kit)
