We are working on numerous projects that aim to increase awareness about problems facing our environment and explore solutions for these issues within a wider community context.

Single-use water balloons produce more than 3.2 billion pieces of rubbish every year!
EcoSplat is changing that with reusable water balloons: more fun, no rubbish.
So Circular is a radio show/podcast by Remix Plastic that discusses sustainability and circular economy. We provide individuals ways they can make a positive change in the world and give local examples of circular economy in action.
