Poplars students have worked in the College's Project Recology space to create amazing soap dishes! These soap dishes have been made using recycled bottle tops which have been shredded, melted and moulded into large sheets of plastic, with each dish containing at least 40 bottle caps!

Students assisted our Sustainability team in sorting the bottle tops into their different types and colours and loading them into the shredder, before adding the plastic to the moulds to be melted. Students also sanded, buffed and cut the dishes for the finished product, which are then sold at the Unpackaged shop. These dishes have proved very popular with customers!

Well done to all on an amazing end-result; be sure to check out the soap dishes at the Unpackaged shop at 121 Commercial Street West, Mount Gambier!
