In this project, we developed a case study to assist the Ecological Justice Hub in expanding their Regenerative Plastics Program. This program aims to increase education on bottle cap recycling and to promote changes in community behavior. We documented milestones in the program’s development, its impacts on participants, and the challenges and lessons learned, developing a tool to help the Hub implement the program into schools. We also developed assessment surveys, allowing Hub staff to document further impacts.
