Carton collecting competition helps double carton collection volume 11:24 | 18/01/2021
The separation of used cartons for recycling at Hanoiâs schools and households is showing positive impacts. Only in the last two months of 2020, the amount of used cartons collected has been twice as much as in the previous two months, approaching 125 tonnes.
This was achieved partially thanks to the Carton Collecting Competition launched in November 2020 with the aim of encouraging nearly 1 million primary school students and parents to separate their school and household waste.
The Carton Collecting Competition was launched in early November 2020 by Tetra Pak, in collaboration with Hanoiâs departments of Natural Resources and Environment as well as Education and Training as part of the School Recycling Programme implemented by Tetra Pak in Hanoi for the past two years.
