Event - Teacher PD Micro-Recycling Workshop

Take sustainability out of the textbook and onto the production floor. Designed specifically for Victorian educators, this intensive 2-hour professional development session bridges the gap between circular economy theory and real-world manufacturing. Hosted by PPM Education Facilitator and qualified Plastics Engineer, Bill Verhagen, this hands-on workshop equips you with practical material science knowledge, curriculum-aligned frameworks, and ready-to-use resources to inspire your students and pitch circular initiatives back at your school. Whether your school is exploring its first sustainability unit or looking to establish an in-house micro-recycling space, this session provides a tactile look at how plastic waste is sorted, shredded, remanufactured, and transformed into high-value products. WHAT'S INCLUDED: • 2-hour hands-on workshop - Guided operation and live processing in our Recycle Lab (in Mitcham, VIC). • Physical takeaways - Keep everything you manufacture during the session. • DIY Precious Plastic Workspace book - A printed comprehensive manual on open-source recycling setup and safety. • Complete presentation slide deck - For use directly in your classroom or to share with school leadership. • Official PD Certificate - Certified record of completed Professional Development hours. • Education Program info pack - Printed resources and Victorian Curriculum v2.0 mapping designed to help you easily pitch incursions, excursions, or workspace machinery to your school administration. *Multiple Attendees: If booking on behalf of a school or registering multiple teachers, please use the "Special Instructions" field on your cart page to provide the Full Name, Email Address, and School/Organisation for every individual attendee.
