Special visit for Cotlands from Ronnie Recycler
A total of 25 members were impacted on the day.
COTLANDS received a special visit from Ronnie Recycler (Mpact Recycling mascot), Yasmeen Adam (procurement representative from Mpact Recycling) and Tandi Potgieter (Tammy Taylor Mrs South Africa finalist) on October 19.
The Top 25 Mrs South Africa finalists are required to work alongside Mpact Recycling at schools and communities with the aim of promoting recycling awareness, supporting fund-raising initiatives and increasing recycling volumes.
Each finalist has a target to generate two tons of recycling at the schools and communities that they visit.
The Ronnie Recycler programme allows schools and communities to raise funds, as they are paid for their recyclables while teaching environmental awareness, responsibility and sustainability.
Tandi Potgieter had this to say about her visit to Cotlands: “The staff at Cotlands have really crept into my heart. You can see the passion they have for the children and their work. I am so grateful to Mpact Recycling for this incredible initiative and proud to be able to work with both Cotlands and Mpact Recycling to raise awareness for paper recycling. I am working with various local businesses to ensure that we have a sustainable source of recyclable paper to increase the volumes for Cotlands and to ensure they have an increased revenue stream from Mpact Recycling.”
Did you know?
Did you know that long-life milk and juice cartons are now recyclable? Recycling your used, empty cartons is easy and only requires you to remove or lift the cap, turn out the corners, flatten and replace the cap. The flattened carton is now ready to be recycled in your nearest Ronnie Bank.
By recycling, you benefit the environment in a number of ways: it diverts recyclable paper, paper-based packaging and plastic away from landfills, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and prevents the incineration of recyclable paper.
Cotlands would like to encourage more community members and businesses to play their part in saving the environment by donating all their unwanted paper, magazines, newspapers, cartons etc. for recycling. They need your contribution to help them increase their recycling volumes to raise funds.
