Abstract

AbstractIn this study, we discuss the alignment of the programme “Recreos Residuos Cero” (zero waste break time) with the theoretical framework of the Whole School Approach (WSA) and use different instruments to evaluate the impact of a WSA approach towards waste management and sustainability in Spanish schools. The first instrument is an app that was designed to track the waste generated in different classrooms informing us on the efficiency of the program in terms of waste reduction. The second instrument is a questionnaire among the participating teachers that evaluates the implementation of 6 WSA principles during the RR0 programme. Lastly, we use the experiences of the participating schools and teachers to identify the strengths and challenges of each of the principles and as a general reflection of the effectiveness of the RR0 program within the WSA.
