A free immersive experience will open at Glasgow Science Centre.
The temporary Infinity Room installation, created by recycling not-for-profit Every Can Counts, will be open to the public from Monday, October 17 until Sunday, January 8.
It aims to teach children and the wider public about the importance of recycling drink cans and illustrates the infinite recyclability of aluminium.
The exhibit is made up of 1500 recycled cans and 25 sq meters of mirrors and its launch coincides with Recycle Week, running currently.
People can step inside a giant drink can, which is a mirrored room that creates an illusion of being surrounded by an infinite number of suspended aluminium cans.
At the same time, a narrator will take visitors on an educational journey through aluminium can recycling and its environmental benefits.
Graham Rose, creative director at Glasgow Science Centre, said: “We are always looking to develop our sustainability initiatives, whether it’s making sure there are plenty of recycling bins on site or educating the local community with our public engagement programme.
“Every Can Counts’ work around recycling awareness is important in keeping drink can recycling front of mind amongst the public, and we’re really pleased to be hosting this one-of-a-kind installation to help spread the word.”
According to a recent survey completed by Every Can Counts, nearly two-thirds (65%) of people who live in Glasgow say they’re becoming more conscious of environmental concerns and their own carbon footprint.
