  • School Recycling Programs

    Paperman develops educational programs within schools to instil awareness about recycling and home-based waste management among students, who are the future citizens. Initiatives like Recycle Week, Trash Tales, and RestArt Earth are designed to actively engage students in creative interactions with common recyclable materials.
