Our campaign’s core objective is to accentuate our engagement to ensure that maximum PET bottle produced or sold are returned and recycled. It represents our drive to lead with concrete actions and inspire the population to join us in our vision of proper recycling, guaranteeing that packaging does not end up where they are not meant to.
‘Yes, No Solutions’ a non-profit online platform that connects Mauritius’ various stakeholders and people to foster a plastic circular economy, is set to launch their latest initiative, dubbed “I am Recyclable – Boutey Retourne, Boutey Resikle*” to propel the culture of recycling among the population by encouraging them to engage in responsible disposal and recycling practices.
This campaign is scheduled for launch on November 4th at the Farmers Centre in Goodlands, this campaign underscores the pivotal role of selective sorting within Mauritian households, highlighting that a PET bottle can have several uses when recycled.
At the heart of this campaign are roadshows set across Mauritius, predominantly at CSU centres starting in Goodlands – Triolet on the 4th of November 2023 and Pamplemousses – Montagne Longue on the 05 of November 2023.
