Centro de Reciclagem da Escola de Engenharia Mackenzie

um programa de extensão universitária voltado para a sustentabilidade

Abstract

The search for skills development for the formation of a conscious and engaged professional with the sustainable development involve actions that surpass the classroom limits and promote the dialogue and knowledge generated sharing with the Society as the university extension objective is defined. In order to reach these goals, the Engineering School of the Mackenzie Presbyterian University created the extension program named Engineering School’s Recycling Centre as a way to promote the discussion about the rational use, the challenges and possibilities of the plastic chain through actions like courses, lectures and workshops where students of all levels, since the child education until the college have the opportunity to know the polymers recycling chain, the recycling process and after use possibilities of those materials. Since the first presential workshop in May of 2022 until now, more than 1300 people from all educational levels of public and private schools were attended by the Project in more than 50 workshops realized by the Materials Engineering undergraduate course.
