Recycling in the Classroom

Reuse for SCHOOL

Educational institutions play a crucial role in shaping environmental consciousness. Our school recycling program transforms campuses into living laboratories of sustainability while providing students with hands-on experience in environmental stewardship.

The Educational Environmental Impact

Schools generate significant bottle waste through cafeterias, vending machines, athletic events, and daily student consumption. A typical school of 500 students discards approximately 2,000 plastic bottles weekly. Our comprehensive school program captures this waste stream while creating powerful learning opportunities about environmental responsibility, circular economy principles, and climate action.

​

Comprehensive Campus Solutions

Our school recycling program begins with a thorough waste audit to understand your institution's specific needs. We then design a customized bottle collection system that includes strategically placed recycling stations, educational signage created by our environmental education specialists, and age-appropriate sorting guidelines.

We provide different sized containers for various campus locations—large-capacity bins for cafeterias and gymnasiums, medium containers for classrooms and hallways, and specialized event bins for sports facilities and auditoriums. All containers feature clear visual guides showing acceptable bottle types and environmental impact information.

​

Curriculum Integration and Environmental Education

Education is at the heart of our school program. We provide teachers with comprehensive lesson plans that integrate bottle recycling into science, mathematics, social studies, and art curricula. Students can track their school's environmental impact through our real-time dashboard, calculate carbon footprint reductions, and participate in friendly competition with other schools.

Our environmental educators conduct engaging assemblies and classroom presentations that explain the journey of a recycled bottle, from collection to transformation into new products. Students learn how recycling one ton of plastic bottles saves 7.4 cubic yards of landfill space and how recycled glass can be transformed into new bottles infinitely without quality loss.

​

Student Leadership and Green Teams

We empower students to become environmental leaders through our Green Team program. Selected students receive specialized training in recycling management, environmental leadership, and peer education. These teams help manage collection systems, create awareness campaigns, and organize special recycling events like Earth Day celebrations and plastic-free challenges.

 

Competitive Environmental Programs

Our inter-school recycling competitions create excitement and motivation around environmental action. Schools compete to achieve the highest recycling rates, most innovative awareness campaigns, and greatest waste reduction improvements. Winning schools receive environmental grants, recognition certificates, and opportunities to participate in regional environmental conferences.

“Born in Lagos, Built for Africa”,

In Yoruba, “re” means to return, and “use” speaks for itself—return to use. We tucked an 8 beside the word to honour the often-forgotten eighth “R” of waste management. Reuse8 comes with a combined track record in areas not limited to just picking bottles but after Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture and Repurpose comes the final stop:
