Transitioning to a circular economy for plastic waste.

First Place Winner - $1,000
New Central Public School, Grade 6
Grade 6 students from New Central Public School are on a quest to reduce plastic at their local landfill. The students discovered they could recycle plastic milk bags into mats. The students went to work collecting as many milk bags as possible at their school and created three mats made entirely from the plastic they collected! Each mat uses up to 500 bags. The mats created will be sent overseas to help homeless communities have a clean and comfortable place to sleep.
