Bottle Caps to help disables in Armenia

Over the past three months, Develop Armenia has continued to make significant progress in advancing environmental awareness and circular economy practices across Armenia. During this period, we successfully collected and diverted an additional 1,000 kg of plastic bottle caps from the environment, preventing them from entering landfills and natural ecosystems.

Our initiative has continued to grow, with new companies and schools joining the program, demonstrating increased public and institutional engagement in sustainable waste management. The participation of private sector partners has strengthened our collection network and helped expand the reach of our awareness campaigns.

Through ongoing educational sessions in schools, we have further enhanced students’ understanding of the environmental risks associated with plastic pollution. These sessions not only provide knowledge but also encourage students to take practical action by participating in collection efforts and promoting responsible waste practices within their families and communities.

As part of our commitment to circular economy principles, we have continued to emphasize the importance of reuse and resource efficiency. Our project remains focused on transforming everyday waste into a tool for education, collaboration, and community empowerment.

The growing number of participants and partner organizations reflects the increasing recognition of environmental responsibility among young people and local institutions. This collective effort is helping to build long-term behavioral change and fostering a culture of sustainability across different regions of Armenia.

We remain committed to expanding this initiative, strengthening partnerships with schools and businesses, and inspiring more communities to adopt environmentally responsible practices.

In the past three months, we have proudly diverted 1,000 kg of bottle caps from the environment—an important milestone in our ongoing efforts to build a cleaner and more sustainable Armenia.

Since the start of the new school year, our initiative has continued to expand. Six additional schools from the marzes have joined our efforts, and many citizens motivated by our activities have begun collecting bottle caps independently. Today, nearly 3,500 individuals are actively demonstrating their commitment to environmental responsibility.

Through our educational sessions, we have strengthened students’ understanding of the environmental risks associated with plastic waste and have inspired them to take meaningful, informed action.

In line with our focus on reuse and resource efficiency, we also facilitated the donation of classroom chairs and tables to a school in the marzes, extending the life of valuable materials while supporting educational needs.

We remain committed to promoting circular economy principles, which have become central to our trainings and community discussions. Together, we are empowering the next generation to become leaders in waste management and environmental stewardship. In parallel, we continue collaborating with environmental groups across various schools to raise awareness and encourage sustainable practices within their communities.
