HKPolyU MRC - Material Resource Centre

HKPolyU MRC - Material Resource Centre Material Resource Centre in the School of Design is a place to explore materials. Material samples are continually added and updated.

The Material Resource Centre (MRC) in School of Design, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, is a place to explore materials representing current trends in design, materials research, and productions from all over the world. Visitors can discover new interesting materials and related technologies that can lead to new sources of inspiration and creativity. The MRC contains thousands of new and inn

ovative materials from all over the world, collections from Material ConneXion New York, StylePark Germany, PolyU Eco-Material Archive (HK and PRD), Pantone color libraries, and collections of local materials, manufacturers, and suppliers. Every material sample is linked to a database containing all the related detailed descriptions and information, including contacts of manufacturers and distributors. The Centre is open to all staff, students, and alumni of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and university partners. MRCโ€™s staff can provide all the information and support for searching and locating materials samples.

We recently brought our SD3250 Production Technologies for Communication Design course students on an eye-opening visit to two local printing houses โ€” and !

Students got to dive deep into the world of commercial printing, learning about different printing techniques and exploring a wide range of printing machines up close. From offset printing to digital finishing, it was a hands-on experience that truly brought classroom knowledge to life!

And the journey doesn't stop here! Students will now be working on their packaging design assignments, with the support of the printing houses to bring their creative visions to life. Their final masterpieces will be on display at the MRC! Stay tuned for the exhibition date.

Every bottle matters. Every holy mountain deserves to stay free from plastic pollution.

ReTraze by RECYCTEX has built a unique recycling network across remote regions above 3,000mโ€”working hand-in-hand with NGOs, collectors, and balers to recover discarded plastic bottles where recycling has always been the hardest.
By putting fair trade and environmental responsibility first, ReTraze transforms threats into threads, proving that when everyone cares and takes action, change truly happens.

Join us to explore:
โ€“ Why โ€œMountain Plasticโ€?
โ€“ How plastic bottles from remote peaks become highโ€‘quality yarn
โ€“ The impact of ethical recycling and fairโ€‘trade collection
โ€“ Real stories from the mountains
