Challenge:
- Production waste – diverse in type, texture, purpose and in varying quantities
- Lack of reproducibility of redundant materials
- The client’s concern for the lowest possible percentage of waste while cyclical management for those arising
For this project, we had the following client materials at our disposal:Office supplies of various types and uses ( both paper, vinyl and plastic)
Implementation:
- The overriding value of the project: the use of emerging waste
- Goal: to combine the use of waste with the company’s local activities
- Project assumptions:
– To undertake activities aimed at the local community
– Nature of activities to share events with other companies (sister companies in the group)
– Carry out activities aimed (also with a long-term effect) at hiring employees - proposal presented:
Workshops with children of current and potential employees conducted in elementary schools surrounding the company using available materials
Results:
Building a positive image and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by spreading knowledge and awareness of the value of the 3R(Reduce Reuse Recycle) idea among the youngest.
Reducing waste and lowering disposal costs – using materials in creative ways reduces the amount of waste which at the same time leads to a lower cost of disposal.
Education and future generations of conscious consumers – through workshops, engagement, the company teaches children the principles of recycling, upcycling and ecology, which can influence the formation of future generations of more environmentally conscious customers and employees.
