Calling all plastics and sustainability enthusiasts to join us for a get-together on October 13th!

This event is a collaboration between CP3, Precious Plastic Montreal, and CUCCR to discuss different plastic recycling approaches and project collaborations, visit the CP3 space…and, of course, talk about anything sustainability-related with like-minded folks.

We invite you to join us on this fun evening, and feel free to bring PET (type 1) or HDPE (type 2) plastic items in your favourite colour, as CP3 will be collecting and recycling!

Even though 3D printing has become a useful and popular technology for prototyping, the process also creates a lot of plastic waste. This waste produced is not guaranteed to be recycled at the end of its life. However, achieving zero waste with this technology can be difficult but not impossible.

This workshop, hosted by the Concordia Precious Plastic Project (CP3) and the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineers, Concordia chapter (CSME Concordia), will outline the environmental issues with 3D printing and tips to reduce your waste.

Date: March 15th, 5:30-6:30 pm

It comes as no surprise that the combination of plastics and fashion is not sustainable in the long run. As sad as this sounds, it also opens a brand new world of opportunities!

In this webinar brought to you by the Concordia Precious Plastic Project (CP3) we will explore the wonderful world of BIOMATERIALS. Your hosts will take you through what is possibly the most fashionable intersection of sustainability and fabrics. From fabrics and clothing made out of algae, and leather from bacteria colonies you will learn about the enormous potential of biomaterials and their current use in fashion.

This webinar will be hosted online via Zoom by Maeva Ramboni, Wanda Stamford, and Monica Gravel. Pssst...If you register today, you will be eligible for a chance to win our raffle at the end of the webinar!

Date: February 23rd @ 6pm - 7pm (EST)

Did you know that washing your clothes could release microfibers?

This might come as a surprise to you but, simply walking around wearing Synthetic textiles, not washing your clothes, tiny fibers are falling off. These fibers are everywhere and often end up in the ocean.

In this webinar hosted by Emily Richard from the Concordia Precious Plastic Project (CP3) and Miguel Felismino, Biology Masters, with a thesis on the “effects of micro-plastics on fish” we invite you all to take a critical look at the impact of what you wear on the Ocean.

Let's talk Fashion and register today!
