“Keep Paper Alive” project aims to raise environmental and recycling awareness of students in the 4th, 5th and 6th grades of the primary schools and to create proper consumption habits . The project works started in January, 2007. After a successful pilot application realized by the participation of 12 Olmuksa Volunteers in May 2007, Olmuksa people were educated about the course outline . The project started in November 2007 in schools of “Edirne, Istanbul, Gebze, Bursa, Izmir, Adana, Manisa and Antalya” where our plants are located.

Olmuksa Volunteers, whose efforts are crowned with ”The Most Successful Project” award will continue to meet  kids in new schools with the “Keep Paper Alive” project in the 2008-2009 school year. To increase the “Social responsibility” awareness of Olmuksa people is one of the key strategies of the company.
