How to teach about plastic recycling

How to teach about plastic recycling Based on my learning by doing experience I made a package with basic information that can help individuals, schools and NGOs. You can find tips how teach about recycling technologies, circular economy and other processing possibilities.

User Location: Liberec, Czechia

Steps

Step 1: Start with WHY..

In the modern and industrial European country such as Czech Republic was in 2020 recycled only 30% of plastic material, 39% was burned as a certified fuel and remaining ended up somewere else. People can collect it but do not know how to reuse it.
In my opinion, problem is in the ignorance.

I believe that education with real examples can increase awarness about lowering consumption of single use plastic, reusing and recycling. Young generation should know about plastic more information that I learned as a teenager.

We have an ability to choose how our future World will look like.
