Sarajevo, 11 November 2026 - Where does a plastic bottle go after use, where do we place a cardboard box, and where does a glass jar belong? Children at Bonum Kindergarten in Sarajevo explored the answers to these questions during an educational workshop organised by Ekopak.

The workshop content was adapted to preschool children, who learned through discussion, pictures, games and practical examples how to recognise different types of packaging and match them with the appropriate bins – paper and cardboard with the blue bin, plastic and metal packaging with the yellow bin, and glass packaging with the green bin.

In this way, the children were also introduced to the basic journey of packaging waste – from the moment it is separated, through collection, all the way to recycling and the possibility of the material being used again.

After the workshop, the children also received educational materials that will help them continue learning about the journey of waste and packaging recycling, allowing the topics covered during the workshop to be explored further through additional activities.

Materials developed in cooperation with CETAP were also used as part of the educational content, supporting Ekopak’s educational activities for young children.

By educating children from an early age, Ekopak continues to teach them about the importance of packaging waste separation and to lay the foundations for habits that can extend from kindergarten into their everyday lives.
