Abstract

The artistic production can play a role of reflection and alert to the recovery of waste and end-of-life materials, with the consequent circular economy implementation, minimizing the use of new natural resources. The contest “Reciclar é uma arte” was organized in the framework of a Portugal partnership between Instituto Politécnico do Porto (IPP)/Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP) and Laboratório Associado REQUIMTE-LAQV/GRAQ (Grupo de Reação e Análises Químicas). The main objectives were the dissemination of the concepts of recycling, green chemistry, sustainability and to show to the younger generations that Science can be accessible and fun. All products used by mankind originated from raw materials, which, during their possible transformation, use and consequent disposal will give rise to waste that will be discarded. This paper aims to demonstrate the connection between environmental education and ecological art, and how this association can help students to develop their creativity and critical thinking.
