About this Event
Join our innovative two-part workshop and learn how to turn plastic waste into valuable objects using solar technology. You will learn about precious plastics and how to transform discarded plastic into new products. Unlike other plastic recycling workshops, there will be no need for electricity. Sun Factory relies entirely on solar power, making plastic recycling accessible for areas with insufficient energy coverage.
The first part of the workshop, dedicated to design for sun-powered plastic recycling, will take place on September 25th at Happy Lab Vienna. Register here.
The second part of the workshop will feature a demo and will take place at Vienna Design Week on September 26th.
Key takeaways of the workshop:
- See sun-powered recycling in action
- Learn plastic sorting and preparation
- Witness the magic of solar melting
- Explore mold injection and finishing techniques
- Discuss real-world applications and environmental impact
Suitable for both beginners and experienced designers; Prior knowledge required: 3D CAD is important, Parametric Design is beneficial. Participants should bring a computer preferably with Autodesk Fusion 360 installed.
