WEAVE is a creative recycling resource for schools, community groups and education organisations. It is designed to inspire the creative use of recycled materials by children, young people, educators and community workers. Off-cuts, bi-products and end of line materials are housed at our centre and used to inspire creative thinking, problem solving and independent learning. We encourage the process of open-ended creative exploration by providing stimulating materials which allow for flexible learning experiences and enrich curriculum opportunities.

WEAVE actively encourages children and young people to find new ways of re-using waste materials, promoting a positive attitude towards recycled goods, and encouraging new opportunities for communication and creativity. A wide range of materials from huge cardboard tubes, to small shiny plastic shapes, are donated by Warwickshire & Coventry's business and industry and can now be used to inspire young minds and ignite fascinating creative thinking in the classroom and beyond.

The project is supported by Warwickshire County Council, and was inspired by visits to the ReMida Recycling Centre in the municipality of Reggio Emilia.
