Growing the Future: An Introduction to Bioplastics

At the Harold Washington Library Center, this hands-on workshop introduces the basics of bioplastic design using renewable, plant-based ingredients. Participants mix, cast, and experiment with biodegradable materials, then take home their own samples. It’s a practical, low-key way to explore sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics. The session runs Friday, October 16, from 2:00 to 3:30 PM. Registration is listed as upcoming, so check the library’s site for when sign-up opens. Accessibility accommodations are available with two weeks’ notice by calling (312) 747-8184 or emailing access@chipublib.org.
