What is the installation about?
In celebration of the First Birthday, CDS Vic has launched an interactive installation at Scienceworks featuring messages from young Victorians, sharing why recycling is important to them. Message in a Bottle showcases the process of recycling, and what happens to plastic bottles (PET).
The installation is open from 1 November till 27 January.
When visiting the installation, young Victorians will also have the opportunity to return their own containers at the Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) at the Scienceworks carpark. Find out what's eligible.
