Information – Promotion – Education Joint educational projects
The PlasticsEurope Polska Foundation also cooperates with external partners, getting involved in the implementation of educational projects and nationwide information campaigns which promote pro-environmental behaviors (non-littering, sorting waste) and the importance of recycling and energy recovery from plastic waste for the protection of natural resources and the environment. In 2018, the Foundation supported the jubilee 25th edition of the “Clean Up the World – Poland” campaign organized by the “Nasza Ziemia” [Our Earth] Foundation, and the celebration of the World Environment Day organized in Poland by the UNEP/GRID Center as part of the Zielona Wstążka #DlaPlanety [Green Ribbon #ForthePlanet] project. Also, as in previous years, workshops for children “Opakowanie – nie śmieć! Od selektywnej zbiórki poprzez recykling do nowych wyrobów” [Packaging – do not litter! From selective collections through recycling to new products] were held at schools, public libraries, and environmental education centers all over Poland, combined with a themed poster exhibition, lectures, and competitions on environmental subjects. The Foundation was also a partner in the “Recykling Górom” [Recycling for the Mountains] educational campaign promoting non-littering on mountain trails. PlasticsEurope Polska regularly supports educational events and projects organized by member companies. In 2018, a film contest for schools of the Płock region on the use of plastics as innovative materials in various applications was organized by Basell Orlen Polyolefins.
