Schools can use their Account to access statements summarising their environmental and financial savings.

Primary schools will be sent achievement certificates and digital badges for completing Planet Protector Challenge missions and using the Mission Report Form on the Planet Protector Challenge website to report their results. Schools completing more than 8 missions, can double their recycling rewards!* and all the reports will be added to the school’s Wastebuster Account.

Secondary schools will be sent printable Waste Action Award certificates and web banner summarising progress from their Wastebuster account, at the end of each term. The banner celebrates the schools achievement and can be used on school communications, websites and prospectuses.
