## Tutorial Overview

Drawing from practical experience, this package provides essential information for individuals, schools, and NGOs. It offers guidance on teaching various processing technologies.

User Location: Liberec, Czechia
## Steps
### Step 1: Start with WHY..

In 2020, only 30% of plastic waste in the Czech Republic was recycled, 39% was incinerated as fuel, and the rest fell into other categories. While collection occurs, knowledge of reuse is limited. The primary issue is ignorance. Education with practical examples can raise awareness about reducing single-use plastics, reuse, and informed processes among the younger generation. We have the power to shape the future world.
