ANOTHER REASON TO DANONE

Danone South Africa has provided Covid-compliant desks – al made of recycled yoghurt cups! – to seven schools.

The brand is converting 19 tonnes of waste to provide much-needed desks to help adequately space out children. At the same time, this helps the company fulfil its commitment of no waste to landfill in the near future.

The equivalent of 914 1kg Nutriday tubs go into making the desk frame, and 245 of the yoghurt six-packs go into the top. The desks have been designed under the supervision of an occupational therapist for children aged 4 to 6 years and are not only a safe place to learn how to read and write – but to eat as well.
