Furthermore, their involvement can improve by learning how to collect their waste in a selective way.

It aimed to teach pupils theoretical and practical aspects regarding waste management and especially good practices in selective collection of waste, as a first step in recycling and other type of material recovery. “Be green for the environment. Learn to select your waste” was a project that joined forces of private companies, students and also public authorities in order to improve environmental aspects by increasing young population involvement in waste management process.
