Paper Recycling in collaboration with ITC WOW
ITC's Wealth Out of Waste is a recycling initiative that works towards spreading awareness about recycling, and encouraging people to segregate and dispose waste responsibly. WOW is an internationally recognised initiative by Bureau of International of Recycling.
In this program, WOW reaches out to schools, institutions and homes through its awareness building teams, about source segregation of waste. After a stipulated period of time, the WOW team goes back to collect the waste kept aside by schools/institutions/homes, and pays them for the recyclables collected. ITC will apportion Rs.7 / KG on old notebooks and the management will pass on Rs.5 / KG to the students, keep Rs.2 / KG and use for any social activity ITC will issue an Exchange coupon based on the quantity received and students will give the coupon at the stall and take the notebooks or stationery to equal value of the coupon. ITC will pick up the material on the same day or next day of the collection. A certificate will be given to the student who participates in this scheme. A certificate and memento will be given to every school who takes up this initiative. Pre-event: Urmi mvsrec went to different schools (cbse) namely Kendriya Vidyalaya, kanchanbagh.
