Esauriti for the Planet , a new life for stationery!
The ""ESAURITI FOR THE PLANET"" circular economy project has been active for over a year. Launched in May 2024 with the collaboration of the Municipality of Bergamo and involving 11,000 students from 12 academic institutions, its purpose is to raise awareness among young people and communities about the recovery of plastic from school stationery, turning rubbish into a resource.
The new project involving schools
Following the project’s launch at schools in the
municipality of Bergamo, other academic institutions
in Bergamo city and province wished to voluntarily
take part in the project too, not only because they
see it as aligned with the green principles shared
among the schools, but above all because they
deemed it a worthy project.
In March 2025, this led to the expansion of
participation to a further 23 schools, of different
types and levels.
From the very start, Legami’s purpose with ""Esauriti for the
Planet"" has been to create a practical, replicable project,
capable of inspiring other schools and other regions.
What we will be able to recycle with your help
We will collect and recycle plastic stationery items, such as:
-Pens (without ink)
-Rulers
-Set squares
-Pen holders
-Scotch tape dispensers
-Lead holdsers
-Small desktop containers
-Marker and highlighter lids (markers and highlighters themselves cannot be accepted as the ink cannot be removed from inside)
-Correctors (only those without tape, or with all tape used up)
