Join us for a hands-on, feel-good experience that’s all about giving plastic lids a second life! Our Lids Sorting Session brings together people who care about sustainability, community, and positive action — all while having a bit of fun.

Every lid we collect has a story. What was once considered waste — milk caps, juice tops, or soft drink lids — can now become part of something much bigger. Before these lids can be recycled and transformed into beautiful, useful products, they need to be sorted carefully by colour and type. That’s where you come in!

During the session, we’ll work together to sort through plastic lids, separating them into different categories based on colour, size, and resin code. This step is crucial, as it ensures the quality and consistency of the recycled material we use in our products. Sorting may sound simple, but it’s the heart of our process — and it’s a fun, social activity that anyone can join.

Whether you’re a passionate environmentalist, a student keen to learn more about recycling, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, this is a great way to get involved. No special skills are needed — just a willingness to roll up your sleeves and be part of a positive, purpose-driven community.

By the end of the session, you’ll not only have helped divert thousands of plastic lids from landfill, but you’ll also walk away with a deeper appreciation for how small everyday actions can create lasting environmental impact.

So come join us and see how we can turn waste into wonder, one lid at a time. Together, we’re making sustainability hands-on, meaningful, and fun.
