WASTE AND RECYCLING

1.- Find out where waste is produced at the Centre and what type it is.

To do this, you should go around the different facilities of the Centre: classrooms, library, workshops, laboratories, cafeteria / canteen, sports areas, storage and maintenance areas, infirmary, etc., asking those responsible and checking the types of waste produced in each one and, if possible, the daily or weekly amount:

- Food waste

- Paper / cardboard

- Glass waste

- Plastic packaging

- Metal packaging

SEPARATION COMMITMENT OF WASTE IN THE CLASSROOM

ReCrea offers you the possibility to separate waste in the classroom.

We have at your disposal yellow recycling bins for the separation of plastics and other packaging, and blue recycling bins for paper and cardboard.

If you wish to have these bins in the classroom, the group must commit to using them properly. This means separating according to the instructions: do not throw any organic waste in them, or other waste that cannot be sorted, such as packaging or paper.

The group must commit to emptying them when they are full. You can organise yourselves so that each time it is the turn of a team of three or four people.

The group ............ makes this commitment and requests the containers for the classroom.

ReCreate:

We transform the recovered materials into didactic resources to carry out diverse activities such as puppets, storytelling, experiments with light, sound, or any other scientificartistic activity that is developed within or outside of the museum.

outside the centre.

The ReCrea project goes beyond creative recycling, although this aspect undoubtedly has a specific weight that gives it character.

This project is inspired by ReMida , a REGGIO-EMILIA project.

Why use ReCrea material?

• Ecological reason: We extend the life of objects and materials before they are finally discarded. And so we reduce.

• Creative reason: We use educational methodologies that break the limits of individual work in paper/tablet format to focus on the creation of volumes, cooperative work, ...

• Cognitive reason: We solve problems such as, for example, maintaining balance in a construction, fitting pieces together, devising the final formation or transferring to paper (or other formats) what has been done with scrap pieces.
