Winning schools of the separated paper collection competition were awarded

The students collected 53 tons of paper waste and handed it over to companies for recycling. The project was implemented by CENN, with the financial support of USAID, in three regions of Georgia – Kakheti, Adjara, Shida Kartli, and in Tbilisi. Its aim was to raise awareness among students and to promote the modernization of the waste management sector in the country.

135 schools participated in the project, and 7 winning schools were identified based on the amount of paper waste collected. Irina Abuladze, Deputy Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport, together with Levan Davitashvili, Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, thanked their representatives for their successful participation in the competition and awarded them certificates and commemorative gifts.
