Gloucestershire Energy from Waste Facility announces the latest papermaking workshop

On 22nd February 2023, the Gloucestershire Energy from Waste Facility will host a free papermaking workshop aimed at children aged 5-15 and their accompanying adults. The workshop will explore the different ways that paper can be recycled at home and used for craft activities. It also represents an opportunity to give old junk mail, bills, and other scrap paper a fun, new lease of life.

The workshop is designed for beginners however children must be accompanied by an adult. The session is expected to run for approximately two hours and free refreshments will be on offer. There will not be a charge to attend the workshop, although we will be collecting donations for our chosen charity of the year, Charlie's Cancer Care and Therapy Centre, for people who would like to support it. 

Dan Pearson, General Manager at Gloucestershire Energy from Waste Facility, said:

“Alongside the treatment of waste, we help to educate residents on the best practices in sustainable waste management. Make sure you keep an eye out as there will be more activities like this across the coming months.”

The Gloucestershire Energy from Waste Facility generates the equivalent energy to power approximately 25,000 homes and around 50% of the energy produced can be classed as renewable. In addition, over 90% of the waste that arrives onsite is diverted from landfill.
