"Welcome to CREATES, Warwickshire's first creative recycling centre for schools, pre-schools, further education and community groups. As a new initiative linking arts and education, the CREATES resource has thrown open its doors to a new world of creative possibilities for Warwickshire's schools and communties. The vision was inspired by visits to the ReMida Recycling Centre in the municipality of Reggio Emilia in Northern Italy, which promotes the idea that waste materials can be resources."

CREATES aims to encourage children to find new ways of re-using waste materials, promoting a positive attitude towards recycled goods, and encouraging new opportunities for communication and creativity. A wide range of materials from huge cardboard tubes, to small shiny plastic shapes, donated by businesses and industry can now be used to inspire young minds and ignite fascinating creativity in the classroom and beyond."
