The Plastic Workshop

A deep-dive into the world of Plastics

“In order to take action and build solutions, we first need to understand the problem.”

Inspired by the Climate Fresk, the Plastic Workshop (Fresque du Plastique in french) is a science-based workshop which guides you through the marvellous and unsettling world of plastics. We will target its different aspects, from resource extraction to global markets and discuss individual and collective actions.

No previous knowledge required – your enthusiasm and curiosity are all you need. The workshop includes a brainstorming exercise focused on transformation and solutions for the lab… and a break!

A word from participants

It is about collective intelligence. Even though I act daily to decrease my waste, this workshop brought new ideas which I can apply!

It was key to put numbers on concepts and impacts of plastic, and also to have the opportunity to discussing their meaning.
