PPG Education Partner C3 Launches Digital Sustainability Lesson
PPG announced the launch of a digital lesson created by partner Centrum JongerenCommunicatie Chemie (C3), a Dutch education nonprofit that introduces children and young people to chemistry and life sciences. In the lesson, pupils create their own paint factory online, making choices in categories such as raw materials, energy, packaging, and transportation that help them to learn about sustainability. The effect of their choices is shown in scores for sustainability, price, quality, and the start date of the factory, and they can adapt their choices to see the effect.
The lesson was launched at the Nationale Onderwijstentoonstelling (NOT) education fair in Utrecht, the Netherlands, by Rosienne Steensma, program lead, chemicals strategy for sustainability, Royal Association of the Dutch Chemical Industry (VNCI); Jeroen Sijbers, director C3; and Maurice de Wit, PPG director, production and logistics Benelux, Architectural Coatings.
