Help us sort plastics and learn about how we redeem can-carriers and turn them into functional plastic commodities and art!
About this Event
Event Photos

Redemptive Plastics is a collaborative project between alt_ Chicago, an artist-led, faith-based, community-driven nonprofit based on the West side of Chicago that revitalizes neighborhoods utilizing the arts as a tool; and Happy Returns Studio, a Chicago studio working on the roundabout of robotics, recycling and recreation.

This project focuses on collecting and REDEEMING discarded plastic in the community and examines what else can simultaneously be redeemed. We are a collective of artists, activists, cohort members and volunteers working together to transform plastic into functional artwork.

Join us for a 3 hour event where you will help us sort can carriers by color. It's a neccesary step before we're able to shred and melt them into plastic beams and we can't do it without you! We look forward to meeting you.
