With the RE-BUTTON, the Swiss PlasticTwist pilot introduced the first mini-lab-fabrication allowing anyone from 7- 107 to engage with the wonders and transformations of plastic.

During the workshop at the large Spring Fair of central Switzerland Chris Obrist from FabLab Lucerne and the rest of the CH-PT-team produced over 400 RE-BUTTONs with the public. In the coming months next to other activities the Swiss PlasticTwist pilot will introduce teach-the-teacher courses, so that pupils make their own RE-BUTTON fabrications in class. Showing that paying attention to the plastics around you can easily turn a piece of waste into a useful object.
