Paper Charcoal Production Workshop at ISDB, Mozambique

On October 1, 2025, a paper charcoal production workshop was held at the Dom Bosco Higher Education Institute (ISDB), with the participation of students from the Environmental Club. The activity aimed to promote the reuse of waste and encourage sustainable practices. During the workshop, used paper, water, and charcoal powder were used to produce eco-friendly charcoal with low calorific value, which is a less polluting option suitable for small domestic uses. The process involved preparing the mixture, molding, and drying the product. The initiative allowed students to understand the value of recycling and the importance of environmental innovation, reinforcing the Environmental Club's commitment to reducing waste and promoting ecological alternatives within the institution.
