International School Brunei (ISB) and EnEvo Sdn Bhd recently completed a collaborative paper recycling campaign in a bid to protect the environment and promote sustainability.
The campaign, which took place from 26 to 28 February 2025, saw parents and students of ISB encouraged to drop off used paper for recycling purposes. The used paper included old exercise books, non-glossy books and papers, shredded office papers, and newspapers.
The collected used paper was then supplied to EnEvo, a local company that provides a sustainable solution for wastepaper through closed-loop recycling, where they collect, process, and convert it into a reusable product, i.e. toilet tissue paper.
To mark the successful conclusion of the campaign, all the collected used paper was compiled together at ISB to be presented to EnEvo.
Among the attendees for the handover of recyclable paper were Executive Principal and CEO of ISB Dominic Morley; General Manager of ISB Vienna Law; General Manager at EnEvo Sdn Bhd Tan Kheng Tong; ISB’s Eco Coordinator David Mark Evans; and ISB’s Eco Committee and Eco Warriors, which are teams of passionate and driven students who lead various environmentally focused initiatives.
In his speech, Morley said that the school is delighted to collaborate with EnEvo again on the important campaign, which is in line with ISB’s commitment to having a positive environmental impact and promoting a sustainable future for all.
“I would like to thank the members of our ISB community for contributing to this meaningful recycling initiative,” he said.
He further said that ISB maintained the firm belief that their globally minded students have the potential to create a positive impact on the world.
“As an eco-school, we are dedicated to sustainability and environmental awareness, a commitment reflected in our BCA Green Mark accreditation and the esteemed Eco-Schools Green Flag award, which recognises excellence in environmental education and action,” said Morley.
On his part, Tan Kheng Tong shared that the EnEvo is thrilled to witness the continuous efforts by ISB and honoured to be working with them once again.
“As environmental sustainability has increasingly become more emphasised nationally and globally, it is fundamentally important for us to put the gears into motion and make the necessary drive at the grassroots level to ensure a sustainable future for all to enjoy,” he said.
