Students at St. Naile’s Primary School in Northern Ireland are participating in the Zero Waste Champions program, an innovative initiative that promotes recycling and circular economy principles. Through this program, students are turning discarded materials like banners, bicycle tires, and surplus fabrics into functional items, such as bags. The initiative also utilizes materials from global events, such as the COP26 conference, emphasizing the importance of resource reuse. The goal is to educate students, their families, and the wider community on sustainable practices, with the ultimate aim of reducing waste and driving long-term change. By engaging children in circular economy education, the program hopes to shape positive recycling behaviors and minimize waste.
