The main aim of the "Made in Carloforte" project is to raise awareness among the population of Carloforte regarding the management of urban waste, with a special focus on plastic as an object of recycling, reuse and upcycling. Carloforte is an island of about 6000 inhabitants with a strong tourist vocation: in summertime the population quadruples, and this has a strong impact on the management of urban waste and the care of the marine environment. For this reason, the project activities will be organized along 3 main axes: educate, activate and disseminate.
Axis 1: creative recycling laboratories in collaboration with local schools, with the aim of creating a shared awareness about the life cycle of everyday objects. Axis 2: local campaign against littering. Inhabitants and tourists will be invited to compete to recycle as much plastic as possible, and they will be rewarded through a souvenir created from plastic collected thanks to an extruder and a 3D printer. Axis 3: organization of a festival dedicated to sustainable development, art and tourism, which will disseminate the good practices of the project.
"Made in Carloforte" is an innovative and necessary project that helps Carloforte to achieve its waste management objectives. It does so by bringing together various local and international players with extensive experience in the organization of dedicated events to the environment and to art.
