How does plastics recycling actually work? And what exciting careers are involved?
On 12 and 14 October, we welcomed a school class from the Helene-Lange-Schule to TEXPLAST on both days. As part of the Zukunftsschmiede programme, the pupils gained fascinating insights into our working world at various stations. During factory tours, they explored our site and, in one-to-one interviews with our staff, learnt more about their jobs and career paths.
Things got particularly exciting during the experiments: using the float-sink method, the young people were able to discover for themselves how different plastics can be separated from one another based on their varying densities.
Experiencing the practical side, getting to know different careers and shaping the future!
We are delighted that we were able to show these young people just how varied the work at TEXPLAST is and what an important contribution plastics recycling makes to the circular economy.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved for two eventful days!
