WS LAB : Precious plastic

Wondering About the Challenges of Plastic Recycling? Do you want to take concrete action at your level while exploring creative, technical, and entrepreneurial paths? This workshop is for you.

Join us for an immersive dive into the world of Precious Plastic, a global, open-source, and decidedly low-tech project that restores plastic to its rightful place: a local resource to be revalued, rather than waste to be buried.

This will also be an opportunity to understand the stakes of the circular economy and to imagine how this type of approach can inspire your professional and artistic projects.

Date: Thursday, September 11, 2025, from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM Location: CLICK, Boulevard Initialis 30 - 7000 Mons (easy parking)
