An institution with a history dating back to AD 627, St Peter's School in York prides itself as being one of the world's oldest schools. Their rich heritage, rooted in tradition and academic excellence, does not hold them back from embracing innovation. A testament to their forward-thinking mindset is the school's impressive foray into the domain of composting, a step taken towards a greener and more sustainable future.
Closing the Sustainability Loop with Luzhou pack and Forge
In the year 2022, St Peter's School joined forces with Luzhou pack, experts in eco-friendly products, and Forge, a waste management firm based in Yorkshire. This dynamic collaboration marked the school's leap towards a sustainable model of waste management. Their mission was to 'close the loop' on food waste and compostable packaging - a mission that they achieved successfully and have steadfastly upheld since.
