4 ways to empower Kids with Soft Plastic Recycling
Are you ready to don your capes, mums? It's time to shape the eco-warriors of tomorrow and teach our kids about soft plastic recycling! As a powerful ally in this mission, we introduce you to the world of soft plastics and the magic of capturing them at home so they can be recycled.
As you know, soft plastics—think biscuit wrappers, bread bags, and grocery film wraps—can be recycled. Sadly, a small fraction of Australia's soft plastics are currently recycled, with most ending up in landfill or worse, our oceans. It's time we turn the tide!
Making recycling fun can be as simple as a game of 'Recycling Basketball'. Set up a designated bin and let the kids shoot their clean, soft plastics into it. Or, create an 'Eco-Points' system, where recycling earns them points towards a reward.
One way to make the process more engaging is to use tools like the Wholly Shrink!, an Australian-designed soft plastic compactor that can make recycling a breeze. It not only helps kids see the impact of their recycling efforts but also encourages them to participate actively in the process.
Let's take action today:
- Start a conversation about soft plastic recycling with your kids.
- Set up a fun and rewarding recycling system at home.
- Explore tools like the Wholly Shrink! to make the process more engaging and efficient (www.whollyshrink.com.au).
- What if your child invented her own recycling game?
Mums, let's empower our kids to be the change-makers of tomorrow, starting today!
