About the XYZ
Plastics have invaded our world from Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench. While plastic waste is a huge environment challenge, the material is really useful for essential items such as personal protective equipment.
Working with underrepresented groups in engineering in the Northeast and Northwest, the project team from Newcastle University demonstrated how to design their favourite animal or name and print their designs with resin made of recyclable waste, which were taken home as a lasting legacy.
Build-a-Bear 2.0 built awareness of the impact of plastic on the environment and on human health, showed how engineers are working to reduce plastic waste and inspired a young generation of future engineers to take action and contribute to sustainability.
