Plastic Solutions Project
CLOSING THE LOOP ON YOUR PLASTIC WASTE
The Plastic Solutions Project is a student-led social enterprise with the mission of reducing plastic waste on campus at Victoria University. We are collecting plastic bottle caps from campus cafes, staff, students and community houses, and recycling into new products. Plastic bottle caps are traditionally hard-to-recycle plastics that would otherwise end up in landfill or in the environment. By repurposing them and giving them new life, we are minimizing the detrimental impact of plastic waste on our natural environment and wildlife.

We're Also Working On ...
We are developing a number of products including clocks, pen holders, iPhone/iPad holders as well as plastic beams for construction applications.
Our long term goal is to be able to build low-cost and affordable housing from materials made from recycled plastic.
Drop Off Your Plastic Bottle Caps
We currently have one collection bin located at the Footscray Park campus just inside the Building P main entrance.
Drop off any plastic bottle caps from food containers and drink bottles.
Due to our limited cleaning capacity, please don't drop off caps from chemical or non-food bottles.
