Project Outcome: Plastic Blankets
Project Description: This project, titled ActNow8, focused on sustainability and social impact by transforming plastic waste into useful resources for underprivileged communities. Students collected used plastic bags from their local community, along with old bed sheets, to create insulated plastic blankets. The process involved ironing layers of plastic to fuse them together, covering them with a fabric sheet, and stitching the materials into durable, weather-resistant blankets. Once a significant number were produced, the team distributed them in slum areas to support families exposed to harsh weather conditions. The project not only promoted recycling and environmental awareness but also provided comfort and protection to those in need.
