Shortly describe your project

We have revised and simplified our school’s waste management system. We have implemented standardized colors and labels for waste sorting (white: general waste, yellow: plastic/metal, red: paper) and set up recycling stations in the hallways. A feedback system provided by our cleaning staff lets us know in which classrooms cleanliness and waste separation are working well and where there is still room for improvement. Our goal is to properly separate recyclable waste and keep our school environment cleaner. We also wanted to take on the project to prevent food waste. Unfortunately, our school cafeteria operator is not cooperating with us.
