GreenBatch is looking to partner with schools around Western Australia to give waste plastic a new life by reprocessing plastic bottles into 3D printer filaments. Our school has many 3-D printers and we need to recycle our waste.

GreenBatch Schools Recycling Program will feed their 3-D printers with filament which was once waste plastic. This puts the power of recycling into the hands of our schools and students. To do this Green Batch will install plastic collection points our school. The Green Batch team will pick up the waste plastic collected by the students and bring it back to our factory, turning it into 3-D printer filament. This is then given back to the schools to be used in student’s projects. Underpinning this program is WA’s brand new adoption of the 10c Container Deposit Scheme which is being rolled out soon. This exciting advancement for Western Australia will ensure we can run this program sustainably into the future. At Shenton we have over 2000 student which creates a lot of waste, and a lot of it can be recycled. But we can't do this on our own. We need your help to end plastic waste pollution! Sign this petition so that our school can recycle its plastic, into 3-D filament. Our waste currently goes into landfill. So this is a much better solution!
