The way of recycling

The growing accumulation of plastic waste is a global environmental problem. This waste damages ecosystems, affects marine life and contributes to climate change. Recycling workshops, such as Precious Plastic Canarias, allow us to reduce the amount of plastic discarded, mitigating its negative impact.
These workshops provide a unique opportunity to educate young migrants about the importance of recycling and environmental protection. Through active participation in collecting and transforming plastic, young people can understand how their individual actions can make a difference.
Many young migrants face economic challenges and difficulties accessing employment. Recycling workshops give them the opportunity to gain practical skills in plastic handling, machine operation, and small business management. This can empower them by providing a potential source of income.
Participating in plastic recycling projects can foster the social integration of young migrants in host communities. By collaborating with other participants and local citizens on positive and purposeful initiatives, intercultural connections are created and a sense of belonging is fostered.
The operation of recycling workshops involves a variety of skills, such as teamwork, problem solving, communication, and project management, use of tools. These skills are transferable and can improve the employability of young migrants in different fields of work.
Precious Plastic and similar projects encourage creativity by enabling the creation of useful products from recycled materials. This can inspire young migrants to explore business opportunities, such as making and selling recycled products, contributing to their financial sustainability.
By participating in local recycling initiatives, migrant youth can connect with the host culture and community in a meaningful way. This can promote mutual understanding and reduce the negative perception towards migrants.
Teaching plastic recycling skills like Precious Plastic is essential to address the plastic issue and, at the same time, offer valuable opportunities to young migrants. These projects not only contribute to environmental sustainability, but also promote empowerment, integration and the development of key skills among migrant participants.
