Batteries for Hospice Schools’ Competition 2023 has been launched by GreenPak together with Project Green.

This environmental and charity-driven competition invites all local schools to participate in this year’s challenge.

The school competition, which forms part of the larger Batteries for Hospice campaign, is aimed at increasing the collection and recycling of spent batteries, whilst at the same time supporting Hospice Malta in its mission to deliver the highest standards in palliative care to its patients.

Present for the launch in Ta’ Qali was Kenneth Delia, Chief Executive Officer of Hospice Malta, Steve Ellul, Chief Executive Officer of Project Green and Ing. Mario Schembri, Chief Executive Officer of GreenPak.

Kenneth Delia CEO of Hospice Malta, thanked GreenPak for supporting Hospice once again by launching this initiative.

Ing. Mario Schembri, CEO of GreenPak expressed how this campaign is all about linking two common goods – driving environmental awareness and education on recycling, whilst also encouraging the school communities to help charitable organisations such as Hospice.

“The challenge is simple – to encourage all participating schools to collect the highest number of batteries. The bigger the collection, the larger the donation to Hospice will be,” Ing. Mario Schembri concluded.

Project Green CEO, Steve Ellul announced that as a prize, trees and bushes will be provided to the schools which will be collecting the most batteries.

He stressed that “children spend most of their time at school and therefore we want to ensure that they have a nicer and healthier environment, which provides a better quality of life.”

GreenPak will be announcing the results of the competition, when the campaign comes to an end on 15th June.

The winning school will be provided with an eco-friendly prize sponsored by Project Green. Certificates will also be awarded.
