At the Seeta Ram Environmentals trust, we are committed to environmental sustainability and community support through our innovative Recycle4Change Student Project. This initiative is designed to promote recycling, reduce waste, and provide valuable resources to those in need, all while educating young minds about the importance of environmental conservation.
Project Overview
The Recycle4Change Student Project is a hands-on initiative that engages students, schools, and local communities in the recycling and repurposing of used notebooks and newspapers. By transforming waste materials into useful products, we not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also support those in need.
Key Activities:
Collection: We collect used notebooks and newspapers from participating schools, apartment complexes, and community groups around Ajmer, Jaipur, Udaipur, Delhi, Mumbai .
Segregation: Collected materials are carefully sorted into used and unused sheets.
Used Sheets: Sent to a recycling center for processing into new paper products.
Unused Sheets: Repurposed into new notebooks and distributed to underprivileged students.
Jute Bags Production: Unused notebooks are transformed into stylish and eco-friendly jute bags, further promoting sustainable practices.
