EAD works closely with the Emirates Schools Establishment to ensure the success of the challenge.
Held from 23rd September to 22nd November, the participating schools were able to see their winning performance during the 12,000 Dh grand prize challenge.
1st place will receive 10,000 Dh and 2nd place will receive 8,000 Dh.
In total, there will be cash prizes for the seven winners, and the winning schools will be required to allocate funds for sustainable environmental projects at their schools.
The winner will be selected based on the highest number of bottles collected and most importantly recycled.
The top seven schools will be featured on EAD social media channels and all schools will receive a certificate.
Ahmed Baharoon, Executive Director of Environmental Information, Science Outreach Management, EAD, said: This is the core mission of EAD. We want to use their concerns to show that we are serious and gain support for the Mission to Zero movement against single-use products. ”
He added: We prepared schools for this challenge by launching a dedicated awareness campaign to educate students about EAD’s single-use plastic policy.
“We believe that some students will rise to the occasion and strive to recycle as many single-use PET bottles as possible and transition to multi-bottles so that they can take themselves seriously and be more competitive to the challenge.” We believe in using our products to lead a more sustainable lifestyle.
“What matters is the students who are trying not only to collect the bottles, but to recycle as many bottles as possible. , you will feel valued.”
