Thailand-based fibre manufacturing group Indorama has reported that a programme called ‘Waste Hero’, which it runs to encourage young people in Asia to recycle reached more than 420,000 people last year.

It said the work it carried out as part of the programme, operating with non-profit partners, achieved “significant social returns” in countries including Indonesia and the Philippines.

‘Waste Hero’ promotes recycling by offering teaching materials on a dedicated website that educators can access and adapt to classroom environments. These include 19 free lesson-plans, in multiple languages, across six educational levels, endorsed by an educational advisory group of 23 experts from 17 nations.
