Global Recycling Day is an annual event that aims to raise awareness of the importance of recycling and encourage people to take action to reduce waste and protect the environment. The day brings together individuals, organizations, and governments from around the world to promote sustainable practices and highlight the benefits of recycling.
Thanks to our partner from Crete – the Municipality of Rethymno, the EWAsTER project was part of the Recycling Amusement Park, established in Rethymno this year to celebrate the World Recycling Day 2025.
A Recycling Amusement Park was organized in cooperation with the Hellenic Recovery Recycling Corporation (HERRCO), enabling 900 primary school students to play games, while learning about the usefulness of recycling and the way they can contribute to the effort of our planet protection. This educational action aimed to “invest” in the new generations, bearing in mind that children are both the best receivers and transmitters to the messages, of protecting the environment and acting with ecological consciousness.
EWASTER was present, giving general information on proper e-waste management, starting the cooperation with the primary schools of the Municipality for the upcoming awareness-raising activities on the proper management of electrical and electronic waste. Active role to the whole event had the Mayor of the Municipality of Rethymno, Mr. Georgios Marinakis and the Deputy Mayor of Environment, Circular Economy and Quality of Life, Mr. Stelios Spanoudakis.
