Efforts to Promote Sustainability through Educational Comic Donation in Hamamatsu City
In a commendable effort to enhance environmental literacy among young students, Efeco Co., Ltd. and Enters Store recently donated 300 copies of the educational comic titled 'Secrets of Food Trays' to all 96 elementary schools in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. This initiative aims to spark interest in sustainability and recycling practices among the next generation of environmental stewards.
About the Donation
The donated title is part of Gakken's popular series, designed to enlighten children about crucial environmental topics through engaging illustrations and narratives. The comic conveniently details the manufacturing process of food trays and highlights the importance of recycling, ensuring that complex concepts are accessible to young minds. While this comic is non-commercial, it is available for free in digital format on the Gakken Kids Network website, promoting wider understanding in schools.
A Commitment to Environmental Issues
For Enters Store, the donation aligns with its broader commitment to environmental stewardship. The company actively operates resource recovery boxes in each of its stores, collecting used food trays, PET bottles, and milk cartons from customers. Once collected, the food trays undergo a unique recycling process at Efeco's recycling facility. This 'Tray to Tray' recycling approach allows used trays to be repurposed back into new trays, demonstrating a commitment to horizontal recycling, or what they term 'Store to Store' recycling.
Collaborative Future Initiatives
Both companies aspire to be local eco-leaders, providing community members easy access to recycling resources. Their goal is to engage the community in meaningful recycling habits, thereby contributing to waste reduction efforts. Plans are in place to further strengthen these initiatives, including offering guided tours of their recycling facilities and hosting educational events at Enters Store locations that invite families to learn about environmental issues collaboratively.
Empowering Communities through Education
In addition to the comic donation, Efeco and Enters Store are committed to enriching environmental education through hands-on experiences, such as classroom visits and participation in local community events. Their multifaceted approach aims not only to educate students but also to foster community cooperation toward establishing a sustainable, circular economy.
