PLSTIK Tower
#Cascais
#Associação
This project will take place in the Torre neighbourhood in Cascais. It brings together three organisations: the Cascais and Estoril Parish Council, the Claro Youth Association and the Gaivotas da Torre Association. Torre PLSTIK focuses mainly on the environmental, economic and social areas, translating into a circular economy project and empowering young people from the Torre neighbourhood. Initially, it will consist of the production and sale of skateboards made from plastic collected in the neighbourhood and on the beaches of the Cascais municipality, meeting the needs of young people in the neighbourhood, creating job opportunities and encouraging greater use of the skatepark in the Torre neighbourhood. It aims to be an educational centre for the circular economy.
