Earlier in the month along with our partner The Coca-Cola Company the sponsor of the Xperience Musical Concert by HOUSE ON THE ROCK , we recycled the waste generated at the Xperience Concert, Avery tons of waste from polluting the evironment especially plastic waste. We have been recycling the waste from the Xperience since 2015 and will continue, please join in advocating for a greener future!

In the face of a year rife with challenges, the tenacity and unwavering spirit of RecyclePoints subscribers, wastepickers, and aggregators have shone through luminously. Despite erratic pickups, fluctuating prices, delays in payments, and the imposition of illegal levies, their commitment to recycling ♻️ never wavered. Their passion has not only put cash into their bank accounts and bolstered their livelihoods but has also contributed immensely to fostering a cleaner and healthier environment. This year, thanks to their dogged pursuit, over 15 million plastic bottles were recovered and redirected to our various Recycling Banks and Collection & Sorting Hubs. Such an achievement speaks volumes of their resilience and the collective effort to make a difference. Our heartfelt appreciation extends to the support from our collection program partners like the 100+ Accelerator, Project Revive powered by The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola HBC, Project DORI powered by Mastercard Foundation and The Coca-Cola Company, Nigerian Waste-Pickers Relief Program (NWPRP) powered by Global Plastic Action Partnership and Empowering Collectors Initiative (ECI) programs powered by Growing Businesses Foundation and TCCF. Their financial backing and provision of collection resources were pivotal in reaching this milestone. Together, we celebrate the shared victory and the remarkable impact we’ve made this year. #endplasticpollution #worldwithoutwaste #recycling #recyclingmatters #plasticrecycling #plasticwaste #circulareconomy #circularity #sustainabledevelopment #sustainability #RecyclePoints #beatplasticpollution
