ARTivity students-initiated project : Precious Plastic to Art
A student-led project that combines art and sustainability to give a new life to used plastic.
Background
In Fall 2020, students from Art Program (former name of ARTivity Program) initiated a project called Precious Plastic to Art, they propose to turn discarded plastics into Mosaic Art to arouse public awareness of upcycling at HKUST, foster creativity and community engagement and build an artistic campus for the whole HKUST community.

How?
(1) A plastic recycling workspace is set up for collecting unwanted plastic as raw materials for making mosaic bricks.
