We are Plastic Shed, a Community Benefit Society based in Stockport, Greater Manchester
We unite people around the issue of plastic pollution. We do this by providing lots of different ways for people to get involved with reusing plastic waste locally, from creative workshops, recycled plastic products to large scale community co created recycled plastic murals.
As we work with people in the community to turn our plastic waste into new useful things, our approach simultaneously helps to strengthen community cohesion, empower people to take action and support individuals' health and wellbeing as they get creative with the materials and contribute to a meaningful project.
So far we've connected with over 200,000 people across the UK - what a journey!
Join us today, EVERYONE WELCOME!

Want us to create a recycled mural with your community?
Spoiler alert - We would LOVE TO!
We work with communities across the UK, bringing people together to fight against plastic pollution with creativity, fun and all things art!
Each mural piece is co-designed and co-created with entire communities. Our work reaches your schools, colleges, universities, businesses, places of worship, community groups, care homes, charities and more!
Our very first piece reached 40,000 people, and our latest reached 100,000.
We work with your community to discover exactly what YOU want to see.
Then the community work together to collect the plastic needed - reusing plastic waste, something in almost every home, means there is no financial barrier in place to be apart of our work - we truly reach almost everybody!
