Recover Guyana, a leading local environmental NGO, has announced a major milestone in the success of its water purification project at Queen’s College. As of January 31, 2025, this initiative has successfully saved over 30,000 plastic bottles from entering landfills, showcasing the impactful change made possible by this project.
In an effort to combat plastic waste and promote sustainability, Recover Guyana installed a water purification system at Queen's College. This system transforms ordinary tap water into a clean, refreshing source of hydration, available to students, teachers, and visitors throughout the school day. By providing an alternative to single-use bottled water, the refill station promotes better health, well-being, and a more sustainable school environment.
The water purification system at Queen’s College has now saved 30,000 plastic bottles from landfills, marking a significant achievement in the fight against plastic waste.
Recover Guyana extends its heartfelt thanks to the Ministry of Education – Guyana, the Queen’s College administration, and the alumni of Queen’s College for their commitment to environmental responsibility and for embracing this positive change.
With the support of the Greater Guyana Initiative, the NGO is excited to announce that the successful project will now be expanded to another school, continuing the mission of reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable practices across the country.
This is just the beginning, and we look forward to seeing more schools adopt similar initiatives as we work toward creating a greener, more sustainable Guyana.
