Workshop on the Production of Eco-Friendly Beanbags from PET Bottles

On 13 May, a practical and educational workshop was held at the Dom Bosco Higher Education Institute in Maputo, Mozambique on the theme of ‘Production of Eco-Friendly Beanbags from 2L PET Bottles’. The activity saw the active participation of 18 members of the Environmental Club.

The workshop aimed to raise awareness among participants about the creative reuse of solid waste, promoting environmental awareness through practice. 

During the workshop, participants learned how to transform 2-litre PET bottles, which would normally be discarded, into sturdy and comfortable structures for the production of beanbags. 

As a result, several eco-friendly beanbags were produced that can be used in the Institute's common areas. These activities are part of the Salesian Network's Environment Department's efforts to promote environmental awareness.
