D.Voc. - Plastic & Recycling Technology

The Diploma in Vocational Education (D.Voc.) program in Plastic & Recycling Technology offers specialized training in the field of plastics manufacturing, recycling, and sustainability. This program provides a comprehensive curriculum that combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications, preparing students for careers in plastic processing industries, recycling facilities, waste management organizations, and environmental agencies.

Throughout the program, students explore various aspects of plastic materials, manufacturing processes, recycling technologies, and environmental impacts. They learn about the properties and characteristics of different types of plastics, polymer chemistry, plastic processing techniques such as injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding, as well as quality control and product testing methods.

Furthermore, the curriculum covers topics related to plastic recycling and sustainability, including waste management practices, recycling infrastructure, circular economy principles, and environmental regulations. Students gain an understanding of the challenges and opportunities in plastic recycling, such as sorting, cleaning, shredding, and reprocessing plastic waste into new products, as well as the importance of reducing plastic pollution and promoting sustainable consumption habits.

Practical training is a key component of the program, allowing students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings. Through laboratory experiments, hands-on workshops, field visits to plastic manufacturing facilities and recycling plants, and internships with industry partners, students gain valuable experience in plastic processing, recycling operations, waste management practices, and environmental stewardship.

Upon completion of the program, graduates are well-equipped to pursue careers as plastics technicians, recycling coordinators, waste management specialists, or environmental consultants. Their expertise in plastic and recycling technology enables them to contribute to the development of sustainable solutions for managing plastic waste, conserving resources, and protecting the environment for future generations.
