The “Recycling Olympics, a two-day event organised by GECO and Smart Eventi for Teknoservice, was a great success.
The initiative, aimed at around 300 students in the area, focused on educating young people in a fun way about sustainability and correct waste disposal. For two days, the students engaged in practical and fun games such as quizzes, the creation of videos, relay races and activities that involved turned waste materials into artworks.
“Recycling Olympics”: A Huge Success
During the “Recycling Olympics” we interviewed Najda Toniolo, head of environmental services at Covar 14, Silvia Miccoli, and Elisa Bonfanti, both communication managers for Teknoservice.

The collaboration between local entities like Covar 14, companies like Teknoservice, and of course the citizens, who must be correctly informed about waste collection and recycling, is a key element in creating a sustainable and circular economy. Children and teenagers play a fundamental role in this.
“This is why it is crucial to educate them about recycling from a young age and organise awareness-raising events about proper waste collection, like the one we organised together,” Toniolo emphasised, adding that the main message for the children who participated in the “Recycling Olympics” is to “keep it up, continue with what they have learned, and especially help adults do the same.”
Miccoli also stressed that Teknoservice decided to organise the “Recycling Olympics” because the company finds it very important to draw attention to the environment and engage the younger generations through “games and creative activities.”
The Benefits of the Right Synergy: “An Exceptional Result”
When asked about the benefits and advantages of having a partner specialised in sustainable experiential activities, Bonfanti responded that the positive effects of this synergy were numerous: demonstrating a concrete commitment to environmental responsibility, and being able to organize innovative and original activities. “This allowed us to create a successful event,” she emphasised.
The result was not guaranteed. An event as complex as this posed a challenge, given the high number of students involved. “It was the first time we tried to organise an event of this kind, but I have to say that with the professionalism and collaboration of GECO and Smart Eventi, we really achieved an exceptional result. Everything went perfectly!” concluded Miccoli. See you at the next edition!
