Mpact Recycling announces joint partnership with Butterfly® products for the 2019 school’s competition
Mpact Recycling communications manager Donna-Mari Noble says the competition, which runs from February to September every year, encourages schools to collect as much recyclable paper and packaging as possible.
Building on the success of its schools’ recycling competition in 2018, Mpact Recycling recently announced its 2019 schools’ recycling competition.
This year they’ve made it a little more exciting.
Entering a partnership with Butterfly®, Mpact is offering nursery schools, primary schools and high schools in Gauteng the opportunity to win prizes to the value of R120 000, sponsored by Mpact Recycling and stationery to the value of R120 000, sponsored by Butterfly®.
Mpact Recycling communications manager Donna-Mari Noble says the competition, which runs from February to September every year, encourages schools to collect as much recyclable paper and packaging as possible.
“The schools are paid per ton collected, which they can then use to fund various school initiatives such as creating vegetable gardens, painting classrooms or buying books,” she says.
