Plastic Safari is a mobile educational initiative designed to create awareness about plastic waste and resource management among children—the future drivers of behavioural change. The Safari comprises: A brief curriculum developed by Academy of Earth Sustainability A mobile demonstration lab mounted on a tempo An engaging "wash it - dry it - shred it - extrude it - 3D print it" process for recycling plastic waste The process lets children actively participate in the transformation of waste plastic into usable 3D-printed objects—making the learning tactile, memorable, and empowering. The recycling concept is inspired by the open-source Precious Plastic initiative, adapted by Maker’s Asylum into a lab-on-wheels for outreach and learning. 

How It Works Wash – Clean the plastic waste Dry – Remove moisture Shred – Break plastic into small granules Extrude – Convert granules into filament 3D Print – Create new objects from recycled plastic Children witness this transformation and get to create objects, reinforcing the possibility of reuse and the importance of segregation at source.
