From Trash to Treasure: Giving Garbage a New Life:
Interactive Recycling Events
Flensburger Schifffahrtsmuseum: September 4th
Uni-Segelzentrum Kiel-Schilksee: September 11th
Media-Docks in Lübeck: September 18th
from 11:00 to 16:00 o`clock
Plastic to Product Parcour
Learn how to identify different types of plastic waste for recycling. See how we use the ‘swim test’ to distinguish between hard and soft polyethylene and polypropylene. And experience “PlasTell”, a device that can tell you whether you are correct in your classification.
After sorting plastic participants can use the mobile shredder by Precious Plastic Melbourne to break the sorted plastics into small pieces, ready to be transformed by the Injection Machine by Plastic Preneur. This machine melts the plastic and creates new products.
Visitors can turn plastic waste into colorful and fun products like carabiners, spinning tops and a series of maritime pendants that they can take home!
Bottle Cap Earrings Workshop
Learn how colorful bottle caps and plastic shreds can be made into beautiful pieces of jewelry.
Plastic bottle caps are melted with the help of a panini press and in just a few simple steps plastic waste is turned into a pair of earrings, a bracelet or a necklace.
Creating jewelry from trash is an easy way to get started with recycling plastic. Great for kids and adults!
Prior registration for our workshops is not required.
BYO Bottle Caps!
We have material for recycling on site, but we are very happy if you bring clean bottle caps that you have collected yourself. In this way you can make sure, especially when participating in the jewelry workshop, that you can use the lids in the colors you want for your earrings, bracelets or necklaces.
Challenges and Successes in Plastic Recycling:

In her entertaining presentation Berenike explains how IN MOCEAN was founded, why life on a sailboat is the perfect preparation for working in remote coastal areas, and what motivated her and IN MOCEAN Co-Founder Maria LaPointe to declare a war on plastic waste.
She addresses the challenges and successes they have had while trying to find a solution to the existing problem of plastic waste, despite the lack of local resources. How empowering local people is making a difference and how easy it is for everyone all get IN MOCEAN for cleaner oceans.
The lecture is free and no prior registration is required.

"I think what IN MOCEAN is doing is really great. I've been following Nike's sailing vlog Untie The Lines for a long time and when I read her appeal on Facebook that she was looking for a sailing boat for her recycling tour here in Germany , I thought, ‘Man, I have to support that!’”
Our supporters make the Baltic Sea Tour possible!
Nothing would be possible without the great support of our event partners, Skipper Stefan of SV Rooster, and our many volunteers during the Baltic Sea Tour. We are very grateful for the positive response to our project and the commitment of many great people and institutions who support us, provide guidance and advice, and who help to draw attention to our cause.
