BurahinThank you for taking the time of researching these information and presenting it in an easy way to understand. It's good to know that our school is meticulous of being eco-friendly by using plastic in some part of the architectural structure of our school and for acknowledging the students to recycle by placing waste segregation trash bins around the campus. However, is there any material that can be an alternative for plastics?
