This project supports the company’s ambition to reach 1 million people globally through a recycling awareness program. It offers 19 free teaching resources on Recycling, Zero Waste, and Circular Economy. Designed for teachers and educators with full customization and optional scripts; content was validated by an Educational Advisory Group and classroom-tested across multiple countries.
Project Summary
A global education initiative (e.g., Waste Hero: Reduce to Zero) developed with international partners to equip educators and students (K–12 and university) with practical tools for waste separation, PET recycling, and circular economy action—aiming to scale awareness to 1,000,000 learners by 2030.
