Sharing, reusing, repairing, and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible all form part of the so-called circular economy whereby the life cycle of products is extended and waste is reduced. Waste is one of the two main focus areas of the ISB Eco Team and Primary is also doing its bit to put these initiatives in practice. Year 2 went to prove that it is never too early to learn and practise recycling. Each child brought a toy or game to school which they no longer played with and swapped it with another classmate's pre-loved toy. The children were also amazed to learn about websites such as Marktplaats where it is possible to pick up toys secondhand for a fraction of the price.
