With sustainability being a growing concern across every organisation, we can support your green initiatives with our recycling services.

Arrange for used toners, batteries and cardboard to be collected from your site and feel better knowing you are making a positive impact on the environment.

Eco Tool Kits for Schools

Developed in consultation with a Primary School Headteacher and supporting the National Curriculum, It’s Our Planet Too provides an award-winning selection of Eco Tool Kits.

Offering a range of themes such as Plastic Isn’t Fantastic and Terrific Tigers, each kit is designed to engage children in a fun way whilst educating and connecting them with our planet.

What’s Inside a Typical Box?

In a typical box, you’ll find exciting art activities, cool science experiments, and yummy recipes to try. We’ll get you raiding the recycling box for creative crafts and junk modeling and give you plenty of ideas to get outside in nature… you might get just a little messy! All the activities help to gently explain key issues including climate change, decreasing biodiversity, habitat destruction, and pollution.

Did you know? As many as 70% of teachers don’t feel equipped to talk to their class about climate change1, so all of the tool kits will include an easy crib sheet to help empower teachers to start conversations with their class about a specific environmental concern.

Education in the community…

Lyreco is also involved with Young Enterprise locally. This national charity aims to motivate young people to succeed by equipping them with the work skills, knowledge and confidence they need. We are proud to sponsor the organisation as well as send volunteers to participate in events.

…AND AROUND THE WORLD

Lyreco knows that education is essential for helping people build better lives. That’s why we started Lyreco For Education, a charitable scheme that provides a better education for the children of the world’s poorest countries.

To date, we have supported programmes in Bangladesh, Brazil, Vietnam, Togo, Madagascar and Cambodia.
