Plastic Recycling In Athens - Plastikourgeio

After a holiday in Serifos and not being able to drink the tap water, Daphne and her husband Fran were shocked to see how many plastic water bottles had piled up during their stay. When they returned to Athens, they were determined to do something about plastic waste.

After discovering Precious Plastic, an initiative started by Dave Hakkens who shows how easy it is to set up your own plastic recycling space, Daphne and Fran decided to set up one of their own in Athens called Plastikourgeio.

Daphne says, "Our mission is to show how plastic CAN be recycled but to also stress the point that although the recycling process can be very creative, it requires a lot effort so our over arching goal as a society should be to reduce the use and production of plastic. Recycling is our last best option."
