In the study conducted by collaboration with TetraPak and Dimes, the target was set as 10 thousand students at the beginning of 2016, however, this increased by almost 12% (11,7% exactly); and 11,174 primary education students in İzmir and İstanbul were approached.
Dimes has done important works for sustainability following its principle “Respect for People and Nature”, and has been giving support to TetraPak’s ‘Little Things Renew Nature’ trainings for 5 years. With these trainings students are being taught by qualified teachers on how to use natural resources and how to contribute to recycling. Following animations, the students get to practise the recycling experience through a set comprised of 3 stations put up at the schools.
About “Little Things Renew Nature”
This project, which was started in 2004 under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, and has been going on with the scientific approval of İstanbul University since 2014, aims to give children, who are the future adults, the idea that waste should be properly handled in order to be recovered for the country’s economy. A total of 1 million 200 students have been approached within the project.
