A first of its kind, the ROG Ambassadors project was developed to inculcate the best practices of recycling at a school. 24 students of Jai Narayan College were selected as the ROG Ambassadors, who took up the initiative to advocate for waste management and recycling in their school and communities.
PRF provided them with comprehensive in-house recycling training and installed the “I-Recycle Hub” at Jai Narayan College.
2022’s GRD celebration was very special as for the first time, Fiji’s informal waste-picking community was recognized for their contribution to the recycling space.
Pacific Recycling Foundation’s business arm, Waste Recyclers Fiji Limited again partnered with Swire Shipping, IUCN, Pacific Energy, BSP Life, Fiji National University, and Asco Motors to commemorate Global Recycling Day at the Vodafone Arena in 2022.
The former Minister for Education, Hon. Premila Kumar officiated at the event.
The 2022 GRD coincided with the launching of the Recycling on the Go (ROG) Ambassadors Project at Jai Narayan College in partnership with Swire Shipping.
