Eco Exeter recently purchased some PPE Recovery Initiative boxes for SHDHS, Exeter Elementary, The Exeter Villa, Relouw Daycare Centre and Hansen’s.
The group comprised of high school students wanted to help out however they can during the pandemic.
Members and ninth graders Malaya and Caitlyn spoke to myFM about the eco-friendly boxes, which they say gives back to the earth.
The group got the boxes, which you discard PPE in, through greencirclesalon.com, who incinerate the boxes on their site, and those ashes are used for asphalt and bricks.
PPE has greatly increased plastic use during the pandemic and Malaya and Caitlyn say this is a wonderful alternative to addressing that.
