Launched in 2019, ReciClaro is an environmental education program developed by the Claro Youth Association in partnership with the Cascavel City Hall .
The initiative is implemented in schools across the municipality and is aimed at students in the 3rd cycle (grades 7-9) and high school , with the goal of raising students' awareness of the impact of disposable plastic and promoting more sustainable behaviors .
One of the project's strengths is allowing students to experience the plastic waste recycling process firsthand using a set of Precious Plastic machines.
How it Works
Each group participates in two sessions — one theoretical and one practical:
Theoretical Session (1 hour)
- The importance of oceans in the ecosystem;
- Impacts of plastic pollution;
- Current state of recycling in Portugal and worldwide;
- Strategies to reduce the consumption of disposable plastics.
Practical Session (1h30)
With the Precious Plastic machines, students participate in three rotating activities:
- Creative recycling — creating new objects from recycled plastic;
- Educational quiz — interactive game with prizes;
- Recycling workshop — practical ideas for giving new life to waste materials.
