Dundee Science Centre in Scotland is hosting an exhibition demonstrating the importance of recycling drinking cans. To turn the show into a real-life experience, Every Can Counts, a not-for profit organisation which promotes aluminium can recycling, has installed an ‘Infinity Room’. It features a giant drinking can and surrounds visitors with an illusion of being surrounded by an infinite number of suspended aluminium cans.

During the exhibition, the narrator explains the process of aluminium can recycling and its benefits on the environment. The installation is made of 1500 cans and 25 square metres of mirrors.
The ‘Infinity Room’ at Dundee Science Centre is open to all for free from Monday to Sunday, 9am to 4pm.
Lorraine Lemon, head of business development at Dundee Science Centre, said: “As well as providing an enjoyable visitor experience, we are passionate about motivating change and inspiring positive behaviour for the long-term benefit of our community, and the wider world. The best way to do that is to make an impact and really make people think.
“Hosting the Infinity Room provides us with an opportunity to do just that - to provide a visual treat, something truly immersive, but also a catalyst for conversations, questions and behavioural change when families and other visitors go home.
“This interactive exhibit is also a way of showing visitors that even the smallest of steps can make a difference, that we can all do something to reduce our carbon footprint, and that items we might otherwise throw away can be recycled or even transformed into a piece of art.”
Chris Latham-Warde from Every Can Counts said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing our one-of-a-kind Infinity Room installation to another city in the UK after its recent success in Glasgow.
“The aim of the exhibit is to raise awareness of the infinite recyclability of drink cans in a visual and interactive way and we hope that visitors to Dundee Science Centre are left feeling inspired by it. Each and every one of us can play a vital role in keeping this cycle going and enabling aluminium to be recycled again and again, forever.”
