Combating Mask Waste at Holy Spirit College

With the pandemic we continue to witness the generation of an enormous amount of waste that goes to landfill or collects in waterways and bushland. One culprit is the disposable mask.

Like many of our CEDoW schools, the staff and students at Holy Spirit College Bellambi continue to seek ways of lessening their environmental footprint and are utilising TerraCycle to collect and recycle some of the masks used across the school community.

TerraCycle is an innovative recycling company that has become a global leader in recycling hard-to-recycle waste.

Congratulations and well done to the staff and students at Holy Spirit College for doing your bit to combat some of the world's pollution problems. Every little bit helps.
