The most relevant activity was A22 in our chronogram: Application of the online recycling platform for electronic material. Pedro León, a student at Vocational Studies (IT) made a presentation in English on how the platform works. So, the partner schools will be able to implement it as well.

- We visited an association called Traperos. Initially, it was an NGO, they live out of what others discard: waste. They collect it, classify it, recycle or upcycle it and sell it. They are a good example of waste management. their methodology lies on three pillars: Economic, social, ecological.
