A total of 80 primary schools country-wide were identified, of which 12 are in the Western Cape and five in Mitchell\u2019s Plain. Wavecrest is one of the leading schools in the Western Cape and our goal is to collect 400 000 tubs nationally. To date Wavecrest collected 20 000 tubs or 78,85 kg collectively,\u201d says Callista Carolus, project manager at the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ<\/strong> |&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/peoples-post\/school-turns-hope-into-a-verb-20211220\"><strong>School turns \u2018hope\u2019 into a verb<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She says when she explained to the learners what the project was all about, they brought empty tubs from home, went to shopping malls, cr\u00e8ches in and around the school and from sporting events in their community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was chuckling when one of the learners brought his tubs and said he was standing in front of a family at the mall when they were enjoying their yoghurt. The mother was quite perturbed when he explained why he is standing there and she went back into the shop to buy six more to help him with his total. Needless to say, the family enjoyed the yoghurt before he brought his empty tubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow more than ever we need to work together to build sustainable solutions for recycling, creating end-of-life solutions for yoghurt tubs, and working with partners to ensure sustainability and scale down on plastic use,\u201d Carolus says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_4260d846\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/7371\/0fd88b82530c4cda948de84e38f3b9a7.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1a0dbb0408f04ba3bf3588045f7a7c17.jpg\" title=\"Callista Carolus, teacher and project manager at Wavecrest primary, offloading the yoghurts at the school with the help of learners.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Callista Carolus, teacher and project manager at Wavecrest primary, offloading the yoghurts at the school with the help of learners.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Local cr\u00e8ches all joined in 100% and she hopes Western Cape will come out tops. \u201cAs we celebrate clean-up and recycle month, it is only fitting to see what the youth are doing to contribute towards reducing the amount of waste that pollutes our environment. When the competition started in April a total of 350 six-packs of NutriDay yoghurt were distributed in the school and for the learners it was a learning curve and showed them how teamwork can make the
