Hemas Consumer, together with the John Keells Group’s social enterprise project- Plasticcycle completed the expansion of the project’s plastic collection bin network to 25 new collection points in the financial year 2020/21. Unwholesome practices of disposing plastic waste have posed enough threat to biodiversity and animals and it is high time that we looked into this matter. Plasticcycle operates within a well-planned mechanism where the designated post consumption plastic waste collector- will collect the plastic waste from collection points across the island and will be handing over to the recycling centers for recycling. Hemas being highly environment conscious identifies the need to increase plastic recycling to tackle the plastic pollution and continues to extend its support to drive the Plasticcycle project forward. In combating the plastic waste, individual efforts lead to a bigger impact from which the entire country can imagine a plastic-free environment.
