Wonder will once again be “turning waste into wonderful” by kicking off the second year of its Recycling Rewards for Schools program, which is a fun and easy way to educate students about recycling.
The program showcases first-hand how something so simple, such as recycling bread bags, can help reduce landfill.
Last year, over 1000 schools across Australia registered with 400,000 children participating and collecting, with many leading the campaign at their school.
Over 6000kgs of soft plastics were collected, which is the equivalent to 1.7 million bread bags that might otherwise have ended up in landfill.
“Wonder is on a mission to be a champion and facilitator of kids’ active play, and to create a better future for Aussie kids,” said Cheree Andrews, senior marketing manager – baking, Goodman Fielder.
“Our leadership in sustainability, through Wonder Recycling Rewards, has won the hearts and minds of kids, parents and schools across the country, so we’re thrilled to welcome the program back for another year.”
Wonder will continue its mission to promote and educate schools about recycling, and to get more schools registered in the 2022 Wonder Recycling Rewards program.
There will also be lots of great prizes up for grabs, including Wonder rewarding one lucky school with Replas Exercise Equipment, made from an average of 90 per cent recycled plastic material. There is also up to $100,000 of sports equipment to redeem.
Primary schools, early learning centres and day care centres can register from 14 March 2022 via Wonder’s website.
