The four schools of the municipality have adhered to the program "EducaEnEco School Network" promoted by Ecoembes to get an educational community more committed to the circular economy.

The City Council of Puerto Lumbreras and Ecoembes, the non-profit environmental organization that promotes the circular economy through the recycling of packaging, have launched the project "EducaEnEco School Network" in the four public schools of Early Childhood and Primary Education. , which has the collaboration of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Environment of the Region of Murcia.

In particular, the objective of this project is to promote recycling in the day-to-day of schools and, for this, make special emphasis on involving the entire educational community (teachers, non-teaching staff and students), which are offers training and materials to facilitate the separation of waste.

In this way, yellow and blue bins, as well as posters and other support material have been distributed to raise awareness of the importance that the practice of recycling has for the care of the environment.

All materials are facilitated by Ecoembes, as part of their commitment to involve the entire educational community, and their commitment to education as a strategic pillar to preserve our environment.

The program also provides great added value thanks to the personalized advice that its team of environmental educators offers to each center, providing training to the entire educational community on its role to achieve a more sustainable school.

In this way, both professors and cleaning teams, bedeles or kitchen and dining staff receive guidance on how to integrate waste separation into their daily tasks.

The 'EducaEnEco Schools Network' is completed with activities adapted to the school curriculum designed to reinforce the habit of recycling among primary school students and to learn their environmental value.

Also, an Ecoembes educator makes several visits to the centers throughout the year to know in situ how the project is developing and resolve any doubts.

Once finalized, a diploma and a seal are awarded that certifies the good work and the predisposition of all members to improve their environment.

Thanks to the 'EducaEnEco School Network', during the last academic year a total of 12,482 yellow and blue bins were distributed among the almost 800 schools in Madrid, Castilla y León, Canarias and Extremadura that participated in the first edition, as well as posters and other support materials.
