Firms partner to enhance recycling, reduce environmental footprint

To enhance recycling efforts, promote sustainability, and reinforce environmental responsibility, Beta Glass PLC, a member of the Frigoglass Group has launched a fleet of cullet trucks in partnership with a waste management company, Wecyclers.

The new trucks will be instrumental in collecting and transporting cullet (bottles and jars) for recycling, from various collection points to the local production facilities of Beta Glass. By integrating these specialised trucks into the supply chain, both companies aim to increase the volume of recycled glass used in manufacturing, thereby reducing the quantity of virgin raw materials and minimising the environmental footprint.

Commenting on this new partnership, Chief Executive Officer, Beta Glass, Darren Bennett-Voci, said, “Our partnership with Wecyclers represents a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The launch of the cullet trucks will not only enhance our recycling capabilities but also set a benchmark for the industry.”

The CEO of Wecyclers, Olawale Adebiyi, said the organisation provides innovative recycling solutions that empower communities and protect the environment.

According to Adebiyi, the partnership is a testament to the shared vision of a sustainable future, adding, “We look forward to working together to foster a recycling and environmental awareness culture across Nigeria.”
