The Project

PLASTICS with PURPOSE is an extension of the Jellyfish Plastics Project est. 2018. Originally inspired by the Precious Plastics model of community-based plastics reuse. Our project focuses on transforming plastic bottle caps into other, beautiful objects . Each time you buy an item from Jellyfish Plastics, you are preventing plastic lids from entering the environment. The JellyFish Plastics ethos states that plastic waste is a societal concern, and solutions must be accessible where people live, work and play. Jellyfish Plastics aims to create and inspire solutions. ​When we look at plastic waste differently, we create opportunities for change in attitudes and behaviours. When we see plastic waste as having an intrinsic value we spark creative opportunities and solutions.

Start your own Project

Starting your own plastic repurposing hub at home, school, or with a group of friends is easy. The Team from JFP ReMida can answer questions, lend their expertise and connect you with other hubs around Perth. There are different ways to start your own plastic-reuse project, if you have any questions or ideas, please get in touch. ​ A self-directed community-based Initiative: these hubs function as either volunteer-led or social enterprises/micro-businesses; this model is well-suited for organised groups keen to pursue a longer-term community initiative. A community networked hub: these hubs generally consist of community groups, schools, local businesses etc., who are working together to share resources and may function on a more casual or ad hoc basis. A Third-Party Hub: In collaboration with REmida Perth, a group can work towards developing its own self-sustaining hub. ​There are some common features to each of these hubs that form the core of t he Jellyfish Plastics Initiative: Each hub is encouraged to develop its own identity that reflects the needs/personalities of its local community Jellyfish Plastics is an open-sourced initiative; each hub is encouraged to shared its intellectual property, experiences and learning with other groups in the network. For hubs that would like to retain a direct link with the Jellyfish Plastics Initiative, we ask that your ethos reflects the Jellyfish Plastics Philosophy. While Jellyfish Plastics is an open-sourced initiative, it is always appreciated when acknowledging other people's contributions. ​Jellyfish Plastics is a "why" concept that encourages creative approaches to developing plastic-wise communities.
