Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme (CDS Vic) is calling on primary school students to lend their voice to an interactive ‘Message in a Bottle’ installation at Scienceworks, to showcase the importance of recycling.
To mark the first anniversary of the Scheme’s launch, CDS Vic is launching the installation at Scienceworks, to be on display from 1 November, 2024 until 27 January 2025.
Victorian primary school children are being invited to share a message about why recycling is important to them through a digital portal at cdsvic.org.au/message-in-a-bottle from now until 20 September. Selected submissions will be included in the interactive installation as a message in a bottle, with visitors able to read the responses as part of the display.
It aims to educate younger Victorians about the value of recycling and the meaning of a circular economy. When they visit, children can return their own containers at the onsite Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) in the Scienceworks carpark.
