Priorities
Environment
Our environment theme is aligned with SDGs;
No.4 Quality education, No.12 Responsible consumption and production and No.17 Partnership for goals
We encourage increased recycling, engage in numerous campaigns to promote its value as well as to support the circular economy. By focusing on schools, universities, and communities, we hope to encourage awareness among children and youth, and demonstrate how PET can be recycled, and that recycling PET can protect the environment, reduce energy use, and create jobs. We also aim to be a business that enables increased collaborations and partnerships across borders in order to drive collective social and environmental impacts at scale. To protect and conserve the environment, we support the Wetlands Edge Environmental Centre, Wadden Sea National Park, sponsor the Asheboro Zoo and contribute to the zoological society, and release fish to increase the marine population.
