Summary/Abstract: Waste sorting significantly helps to reduce the impact of human activity on the environment. There should be a functional system of collection and use of used packages to increase the effectiveness of sorting. Since 1997 the EKO-KOM Company has been in charge of waste collection in the Czech Republic and thanks to this company in the past twenty years there has been a significant increase in waste sorting not only from the side of manufacturers and other business entities, but also municipalities and inhabitants of the Czech Republic. The aim of this article is to introduce specific educational activities of the company for the target group of children and youth. As this target group spends most time online, the emphasis is placed on the online education. The main part of the article is devoted to the analysis of the new educational portal Edurama.
