- Learn how barbacha collectors can valorise plastic closer to where they gather it
- Ask how open hardware docs on wiki.oshw.tn let you repeat the process elsewhere
How to join
Contact OpenFab Tunisia through the MAKE Plastic or main site to arrange a visit or workshop slot. This is a staffed association space, not a drop-in retail shop.

Why it matters in Tunis
Plastic that never leaves the neighbourhood can become a planter, a clip, or a lesson at a school demo.
