Gozo College’s San Lawrenz primary school collected 55 large sacks of plastic bottle caps this year, weighing a total of 820kg, for the Irriċikla għall-Istrina campaign. For each kilo collected, Greenpak offered a donation to the Malta Community Chest Fund. The caps were collected by pupils, staff and volunteers. Besides contributing to the worthy cause, the collection helped ensure plastic caps were properly recycled instead of possibly polluting the environment. Teachers also used the collection to test their pupils’ mathematical skills during the process of estimating the caps’ weight, reading the weighing scales and calculating totals. The school aims to collect a ton of caps next year.
