Depositrão Generation

The winning projects of Depositrão Generation schools, an ERP Portugal campaign, in partnership with the Eco-Schools Program, of the Blue Flag Association of Europe, are already known.

Throughout the 2019/2020 school year, schools at all levels of education were challenged to respond to creative statements related to the recycling of electrical and electronic products and end-of-life batteries, which are the focus of the initiative to raise awareness and mobilize sustainable behaviors since 2008.

According to 3 levels, aligned with the levels of education (Kindergarten, Basic, Secondary/Professional and Higher Education), the schools involved submitted more than 260 works, with emphasis on the construction of a “domestic” Depositrão to store used batteries, made with reused materials.

Filipa Moita, ERP Portugal PR Manager, adds that “these challenges are launched to schools with the annual waste collection activity to promote contact with them through creative experiences, with a view to preventing and reusing materials. The campaign aims to highlight the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling our waste to mitigate its impacts on the planet. It is a long-term project to preserve the future for all of us and a great lever in our daily work ”.
