Re-Gen have distributed miniature blue bins to local schools to highlight the fact that this week is National Recycling Week, where the goal is to get the public to recycle more.
Schoolchildren are being encouraged to do their bit to protect the planet by collecting items that can be recycled.
Joseph Doherty, Chief Executive of Re-Gen, said he hoped the school children liked their special delivery “The amount of rubbish generated by householders has been increasing steadily over the last 50 years,” he said.
“Re-Gen has delivered small blue bins to local schools as a gentle reminder to recycle their household waste for the good of the planet and future generations.
“We believe that explaining the importance of recycling from a young age is key to encouraging Northern householders to play their part for a decarbonised planet.”
He added: “This week, like every week, we want to drive home the message that the blue bin is best when it comes lower carbon outputs and higher recycling rates.
Praising the local children for their recycling efforts Doherty said “Communities across Northern Ireland play a very important role in helping us do our job,” he said.
“At Re-Gen, we sort the waste using the latest and fastest developing technology, including robotics and artificial intelligence.
“We also produce high quality paper, plastic and metal recyclate which is used by local companies to make new products.”
