Study Visit to SIA “Getliņi EKO

On September 17th, fourth-year automotive students from the Vidzeme Technology and Design Vocational School (VTDT), accompanied by their class teacher, Kristīne Krodziniece, went on a study visit to SIA “Getliņi EKO.”

During the visit to the “Getliņi” landfill, students learned about the differences between landfills and dumps, waste sorting, biodegradable waste processing, and gas extraction. They also explored the energy block’s role in converting gas into electricity and heat, as well as the site’s high-tech greenhouses and their link to the circular economy.
A big thank you to SIA “Getliņi EKO” for providing valuable insights, knowledge, and the opportunity to deepen the students’ understanding of environmental protection, proper waste management, and efficient energy production.

The visit to the landfill took place within the framework of the project “Baltic Green Leadership: VET Students as Agents of Change” (2022-1-LV01-KA220-VET-000089171).
