The Conservancy Association (CA) has been keen on various environmental issues, with “Used Clothes Collection for the environment” being one of our long-term projects. The collected used clothes will be packed and sterilize locally prior to exporting to Southeast Asia for reuse purposes, so as to achieve the goal of making good use of resources. In recent years, we are glad to see the rise of public awareness in environmental protection while hoping that the future civil society could have further improvement in waste reduction at source as well as recycling. We believed it is necessary to take coordinated and simultaneous actions in waste reduction, reuse and recycling with waste reduction being the most crucial management measure. In this sense, we should look back at the problem of excessive resource consumption while encouraging students to take part in recycling programme. We are now recruiting kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools to participate in “Recycling Competition for Schools 2022”. The details are as follow:
Recyclable items﹕ clothes, shoes, plush toys, handbags & backpacks
Used clothes collection dates from JAN 2022 to JUN 2022
