z-recycle (plastics and clothes) - COMING SOON
More than 8million tons of plastic are dumped in our oceans every year and about 3billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihood. In the cities where we work, plastics are one of the major pollution. Our recycle program, z-Recycle, educates members of communities on the importance of recycling through our awareness seminars. It also allows individuals/communities to exchange their plastics for reward points, as a way to encourage an attitude of care for the environment.
We provide litter cans around the cities to dispose PET. We create awareness and encourage individuals to Reuse plastic bags, Reduce the amount of plastics they use by refusing to take any more plastics bags/bottles, find alternatives to plastics and Recycling any plastics with us. We encourage members of community to cultivate the habit of picking up litters and putting them in trash cans. We are collaborating with State government to take litters off the streets, to create a cleaner and healthier environment.
Plastics are not our only main focus, as we encourage individuals to recycle their old clothes or clothes which they no longer need with us. All they need to do is donate their old clothes in 2ways: Drop off at any of our recycling centres or arrange a pick up. This way we can recycle their old clothes and also provide clothing to people who are unable to afford them.
