Education

RECOUP have been working in the field of schools education for over 10 years. Experience in understanding how plastics are collected, sorted, and recycled into new products enables the team to be able to engage with children of all ages across a range of educational activations.

Educational resource packs have been specifically aligned with the curriculum, to provide schools with the confidence that they can be easily incorporated into the school academic programme. Engaging with the recyclers of tomorrow continues to be a priority, including educating on the importance of keeping plastics out of the natural environment.

The team also carry out research prior to visits to ensure that the material included tailored link to the local household kerbside collection arrangements.
