Founded on a promise: PROTECT WHAT’S GOOD, Tetra Pak is committed to increasing the recycling of used beverage cartons, aiming to double the global recycling rate by 2020 to 40%.
As recycling is one of the great ways to conserve our natural resources, we believe it is vital that we instill the good habit of recycling and make aware the benefits of it to the next generation through school recycling activities at educational institutions.
Here are some of Tetra Pak’s school recycling activities in Singapore.

The Little Green Dots
Tetra Pak began a school recycling programme in 2011 called The Little Green Dots Project, which extends Used Beverage Cartons (UBC) Recycling Education Activities to preschool children, in particular, K1 and K2 children. The Little Green Dots is an initiative by Tetra Pak and is supported by The Ministry of Education (MOE) and the National Environment Agency (NEA).
Tetra Pak engages its education partners to provide educational talks on UBC recycling and the simple steps of "Rinse, Flip, Flap, Flatten". Recycle bins fabricated from polyAl materials recovered from recycled UBCs are made available to each participating preschool for their own UBC recycling activities.

Preschools registered under The Little Green Dots are provided with a recycling bin and The Little Green Dots e-Toolkit. Participating preschools are required to submit a report to Tetra Pak on a quarterly basis.
