The Real Madrid Foundation and Ecopilas turn recycling into an educational and shared experience

The Real Madrid Foundation and Ecopilas have celebrated a new edition of their already well-established battery collection initiative, an effort that goes beyond a one-off action and becomes an educational process involving all the social sports schools. During the latest day of the social sports tournament, the coaches conveyed to the students the importance of recycling and caring for the environment, integrating this message into their values-based training. The children received Ecopilas collection boxes and became protagonists of a collective action that transcends the playing field, also involving family, friends, and their closest community.

During this time, the battery collection is transformed into a shared challenge. The process culminated at the Ciudad Real Madrid, where participants brought their batteries for recycling, reinforcing the sense of joint responsibility.

Nearly two tons of recycled batteries
The involvement of the students was remarkable, and nearly double the amount of batteries were collected compared to previous years, reaching close to two tons of recycled batteries. This commitment was also reflected in small gestures, such as those children who, even if they were not participating in the tournament that day, still came to contribute their batteries and be part of the initiative.

The partnership between the Real Madrid Foundation and Ecopilas contributes to the sustainability of the social sports projects and provides children in vulnerable situations with access to quality sports training. With actions like this, they demonstrate that the teaching of values can also extend beyond the field, and that small gestures, when shared, have the potential to create a real impact on people and their surroundings.
