Welsh Government x MDUK Collections Training: A Beginners Guide to the Care and Identification of Plastic Collections

Tuesday 26th March 2024, 10:30am – 13:00pm, Online

This webinar is an introduction to plastics for the non-specialist. If you have little or no prior knowledge of plastics care, then this will provide a foundation for further development. It will help you identify and look after objects made of plastic, using simple techniques and processes.

We will provide, via post, a selection of unidentified samples of plastic for you to learn how to identify different types of plastics with the trainers and share your thoughts with the other delegates during the webinar.

You will also have to take away with you, a fact-filled introduction to identifying and caring for plastic material so that you have a comprehensive toolkit for further exploration.
