WASTED Plastic Night
CELEBRATING PLASTIC POSSIBILITIES
Amsterdam’s first night completely dedicated to plastic.
DO YOU CARE? GET WASTED!
You’re invited to celebrate the launch of WASTED in Amsterdam Noord. Join us for this evening of workshops, movies, music, food and drinks!
The WASTED Plastic Night teams with plastic initiatives such as Plastic Whale, DUS Architects, Perpetual Plastic Project and Better Future Factory to bring you an interactive, fun and varied program showing you just how valuable plastic waste can be. Once the sun goes down, relax in our open-air cinema while enjoying animated films curated by KLIK! Amsterdam Animation.
The Plastic Night is FREE! Join the event on Facebook, and please reserve your seat on Event Brite for the open-air cinema.

At De Tanker in Noord. Or as it’s known in Dutch, “De Roze Tanker”. Located in Noorderpark, this former gas station has been transformed into a unique event location. Here’s the address:

PROGRAM
We offer a family-friendly program offering a number of fun things to do and learn for everyone.
Plastic-a-holics Anonymous Meeting – WASTED
Addicted to Plastic? You are not alone! During this confidential meeting, we’ll begin treating your plastic addiction. Come meet peers, share experiences and learn about the best treatment methods available. Will you go cold turkey? Phase it out? The WASTED team will share insights and solutions.
Plastic Design Lab – WASTED
Join us at our mobile WASTED Laboratory to experiment with plastic and learn how to turn local trash into upcycled WASTED Blocks. You’ll sort, wash, melt, knead, press and construct, seeing plastic transformed firsthand.
Crochet with Plastic Bags – Thisisarobot
Yarn? No, no. Come visit Thisisarobot and you’ll learn a DIY way to (re)use plastic bags to crochet nifty new items.
Plastic Fishing Boat Trip – PlasticWhale
Soak up the sun on a boat made from plastic waste, while fishing plastic waste from the IJ with Plastic Whale.
Perpetual Plastic Project – Better Future Factory
Learn to 3D print with recycled material, and take your own plastic ring home!
Circular Economy Presentation – Metabolic
In a circular economy we reuse products and materials, retaining their value and minimizing their environmental impact. Also, materials are derived from renewable sources whenever possible. So how can these principles be applied to plastic packaging, and other products? Metabolic shows innovative developments and possibilities in the field of bioplastics and recycling.
Open-Air Cinema – Curated by KLIK! Amsterdam and made possible by Outdoor Cinema
KLIK! Amsterdam Animation put together a unique program of animated films that approach plastic waste issues in a playful, intriguing way. After sunset, we'll start the open-air cinema on big screens provided by Outdoor Cinema. Don't forget, please reserve your seat on Event Brite!
