As part of Coca-Cola’s global commitment to create a “World Without Waste” by 2030, Coca-Cola has been supporting coastal cleanup voluntary initiative since 2011 in Bangladesh. Despite the current Covid-19 pandemic, approximately 520 volunteers from different professions came together to collect more than 870-kg of marine debris this year. Through the effort by Kewkradong & Coca-Cola Bangladesh, more than 4,500 people have volunteered and collected over 12,000 kilograms of marine debris in the last 10 years. International Coastal Cleanup is the world’s largest volunteer effort, attracting thousands of participants to collect millions of pounds of waste and debris from beaches, lakes and waterways. After collecting the waste, it was disposed of at a specified location and sorted out all patterns of waste items collected during the event.
