Education – recycled!

Students from IPET 413 secondary school in a town called Sinsacate, 25 km from our plant in Argentina, worked on specific environmental projects to practice their mechanic skills. During 2019, they have been working with the municipality on a recycling project. The goal for the municipality is to help to inspire and grow a recycling culture, as well as enhance the students’ knowledge through relevant projects. At kp, we’ve been supporting the initiative by supplying them with a machine that grinds plastic into flakes and helping by providing them with our technical expertise. As part of the project, the students will be using the machine to grind post-consumer PET and we will also help students recycle kp’s own recovered industrial waste to ensure we extract every piece of value from the project – literally!
