The British Ironwork Centre's 'Coral the Clownfish' national recycling educational project relaunched last weekend with an overwhelming response. Thousands of schools have expressed interest in participating in the scheme, which features large metal fish sculptures that collect crisp packets and confectionary wrappers for recycling.
The British Ironwork Centre, on the outskirts of Oswestry, relaunched its ‘Coral the Clownfish’ national recycling educational project last weekend.
The hope is that schools help their children to re-use the crisp packets, and turn them into something wonderful, such as art projects or even thermal foil blankets for those in need. The centre said that ‘Coral’ the clownfish has already travelled to hundreds of schools around the nation, and is looking forward to an extremely busy upcoming schedule.
