Education is essential to ensure that chil-
dren adopt the habit of recycling at an early
age. To this purpose, FCC Environment
Austria, for the second consecutive year,
launched a campaign aimed at pre-schoo-
lers. Thirteen pre-schoolers from the Schu-
lallee kindergarten in Himberg (Austria) liste-
ned to a speech on the company’s activities
and visited the local waste collection site.
Most of the preschool kids were already
informed that waste collection is impor-
tant and that resources can be gained out
of various materials. Together, the boys
and girls could show their knowledge by
separating various materials and placing
them in the right containers and bins.
For FCC Environment Austria, it is essen-
tial for children to learn the relevance of
the resources that can be obtained from
waste. “The understanding for waste co-
llection and the relevance of resources
can be communicated at an early stage
and represents an important contribution
to our society. Therefore we appreciate
the big interest of the preschool kids very
much”, Mag. Tanja Calof, responsible for
group wide material management, said.
