Hacking plastic
Hacking Plastic is a loose collective of environmentalists and makers/curators who are curious about the best routes to transition to a low-plastics world.
Based in and around Keele we've worked with artists and community workers in the Philippines and the UK to explore ideas about reducing, reusing, upcycling or otherwise hacking waste plastics.
Our Subversive Plasticity exhibition at St Mary’s Church, Nantwich, presented plastics from our everyday world in a new light. With exhibits exploring the interplay between materials and the forms they take in plastic objects, it challenges people to build their own ‘plastics literacy.’
