Concordia Precious Plastic Project (CP3)

The Concordia Precious Plastic Project (CP3) will re-purpose plastic waste on-site to create 3D printing filament, and other items through injection moldings that are needed by the students. For this, we will be using Concordia University's plastic waste, primarily PLA, type 1 and 2 plastics. Sustainability education, specifically on the plastic crisis, is equally important to us as awareness is vital to sustainable change. Our campaigns are showcased in all social media platforms (@cp3concordia), and student lead research is showcased on our website. It takes a village to solve the plastic crisis, so we are building one on-campus. The association is inspired by and follows the structure of a well-known global initiative called Precious Plastic. This is to show that the project carries a low risk rate, as it has been implemented in multiple cities, proving to have a scalable and effective layout as well as operations. The CP3 local recycling system will reduce Concordia University's transportation carbon cost to a recycling facility, benefit students with opportunities to join the project, and provide eco-friendly 3D printing filament for our campus. We are always looking for partners! So if you would like to contribute, please message us.
