This initiative, marking our fourth iteration of the project and second classroom delivered, serves move than 40 students, providing a sustainable and dynamic learning environment.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>In collaboration with the &#8220;Planeta Verde&#8221; cooperative and &#8220;Botellas de Amor&#8221; foundation, we collected 300 tons of recyclable plastic waste and transformed much of it into the classroom building and<em> <\/em>its furnishings. Additionally, we supplied 47 school kits and equipped a comprehensive library, reinforcing our commitment to educational enhancement through sustainable practices.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>&#8220;We&#8217;re proud to enhance El Rosario de Marinilla&#8217;s learning spaces, reinforcing our comprehensive approach that merges environmental, economic, and social contributions to nourish lives,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Zayda Mart\u00ednez, general manager of Griffith Foods for the Andean Region.<\/p>    <p>This work is a result of an internal program Griffith Foods Colombia created to encourage proper waste management in the company called the &#8216;S\u00famate&#8217; initiative. The initiative seeks to promote a culture of recycling at Griffith Foods facilities and for our employees at home. Since its beginning in 2019, a total of 600 tons of waste have been collected and the materials are processed with partners before being transformed into plastic wood. The plastic wood is used to make useful products for educational centers and schools (such as classrooms, desks or others).<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/wp-content\/themes\/griffithfoods\/build\/images\/dummy.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7779 lozad\" data-src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Lab-de-los-Suenos-Colombia-768x1024.jpeg\"\/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2023, we proudly delivered &#8220;Laboratorio de los Sue\u00f1os,&#8221; an innovative environmental classroom at the Isidoro School in El Rosario de Marinilla, built entirely from recycled plastic waste.
