Recycled Yoghurt Tubs Build School Library
Story 2
Used yoghurt tubs collected from schools across Gauteng have been used to make bricks for a library at Morojaneng Primary School in Katlehong.
The library was constructed using bricks made from upcycled yoghurt tubs through Danone’s Tubs2Classrooms project.
It opened in 2024 and now supports learners’ reading.
Grade 6 comprehension scores have risen from 42 percent to 70 percent, while Grade 3 scores increased from 33.2 percent to 50 percent.
The project partners say the initiative is combining waste reduction with improved literacy outcomes.
