We are seeking to purchase a Closed Loop Organic Unit which is a composting unit that can reduce food waste volume by up to 90 percent in 24 hours. The output is a rich fertiliser that can be used in gardens in a similar way to dynamic lifter. http://www.closedloop.com.au/closed-loop-organics We are also looking to establish a Year 9 STEAM subject by purchasing 2 shipping containers and decking them out with machines that can shred, melt and mold plastic with the help of all of the designs given away free on the Precious Plastic site. https://preciousplastic.com/
With the war on waste gathering momentum and Australian supermarkets banning plastic bags, thereโs never been a better time to involve our school and the local community in reducing food and plastic waste. The local community including primary schools will be invited to learn all about the food and plastic waste recycling processes. People can drop off their food and plastic waste and benefit from the proceeds in the form of rich fertiliser and plastic creations. Food and plastic waste going into landfill will be greatly diminished. Ideas for repurposing plastic include creating jewellery, lamps, baskets, phone cases and furniture.
