Our initiative with the little ones

Today’s children will be able to change tomorrow, and we wanted to help them understand the importance of all this.”

Water bottles have been an important communication vehicle to raise awareness of the importance of environmental issues and the reduction of plastic that pollutes the seas around the world every day.

Recycled paper notebooks
