Plastic is ubiquitous and causes immense damage to our environment. But together, we can do something about it! Our plastic reduction program helps you and your company raise awareness of the damage caused by plastic and implement sustainable changes in your organization. By reducing the use of plastic, we make an important contribution to environmental protection and sustainability. Our program supports you in integrating plastic reduction into your corporate sustainability strategy.
Duration:
- The project lasts a total of one week, plus half a day for preparation and half a day for evaluation
- The timing of the project can be flexibly integrated into your annual schedule
Location:
- In your company
How it will work:
- Kick-off: Internal responsible persons are trained by us in an approximately one-hour introduction. Together, we set up suitable locations for collecting plastic waste.
- Introduction for all: We introduce all participants to the goals and process of the program – either live on-site or online. We also provide comprehensive materials.
- Collecting and categorizing plastic: For one week, all employees collect and categorize plastic waste. This helps to raise awareness of the amount and type of plastic used.
- Joint evaluation and learnings: At the end of the week, we jointly evaluate the collected data and derive individual as well as company-specific learnings. If desired, we offer further inputs or support to sustainably anchor plastic reduction in your company.
