Workspace Setup

Our Visit with Cole from Philly PastiCo:

This past week we received our new plastic shredder through the Precious Plastics Bazar and were excited to set it up in our workshop. Cole, founder of Philly PlastiCo, spoke to our group to share his expertise and advice surrounding plastic processing and manufacturing. During our meeting, we also tested our machine for the first time and shredded #2 plastics collected by our group members.

Progress with Community Partners:

Our outstanding outreach team has been working toward securing as many community partners as possible. The first phase of correspondence targeted organizations in the Norristown area, however, we are now expanding our search in hopes of making the largest impact on plastics waste reduction possible.

We are also proud to announce that we have established a collection point at Norristown Public Library, and are launching a second collection point at Weavers Way Co-Op in Ambler on November 9th.
