Ambassador school programme
In collaboration with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Vietnam Recycles launched a program to propagate and collect e-waste at 11 universities and international universities in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
Vietnam Recycles has trained students to become program ambassadors at each participating school. The organisation has been working with the ambassadors to raise awareness of students about the importance of a safe & professional e-waste recycling process for the environment and the community. At the same time, the ambassadors can represent the program to collect e-waste and receive a reward based on the amount collected.
