The Plastic Now initiative transforms plastic waste into a catalyst for education and community
development. By fostering circular economies, it tackles low recycling rates in marginalized areas.
Through engaging schools and residents, child-friendly recycling bins and waste collection points are
established.

This innovative approach addresses the lack of proper recycling infrastructure. Teachers
and learners are educated on waste management and Water, Sanitation & Hygiene, and amplifying
awareness. Collected plastic waste is recycled, generating income to enhance schools’ essential facilities.

With 2 tons of plastics and 1 ton of glass recycled, 1,200 homes served, and 15 collection points set up,
it’s a comprehensive solution that benefits the environment, education, and the local economy. Through
strategic partnerships, including NACONEK and Coca-Cola Sabco, Plastic Now is creating a tangible impact
and fostering a sustainable future.
