Rayong’s Village Health Volunteers and the Elderly Receive Knowledge on Recycling and Create Crafts from PET Bottles
On Tuesday 17th December 2019, Indorama Venture’s CSR Team, in cooperation with Rayong Hospital provided an educational session on waste separation and a workshop on crafts created from PET bottles. There were over 50 participants from Rayong’s Village Health Volunteers and the elderly in heart and diabetes conditions.
The purpose of this education session was to emphasize the importance of waste separation and how each type of waste can be valuable. For example, PET bottles, paper, aluminum cans, zinc, metal and copper can be sold and become a source of income, while promoting correct waste separation methods at the same time.
Our workshop showed participants how daily objects such as coin pouches, vases and lamps can be made from PET bottles. IVL aimed to demonstrate the importance of reusing and adapting materials, being aware of our limited resources and how to manage them while also creating income opportunities with craft ideas.
