It’s all things CLEAN UP, with this week (14 – 20 Sept) being Clean Up & Recycle Week in SA which ends off with International Coastal Clean-up Day this Saturday, 19 Sept.
Every year, the world produces about 300 million tonnes of plastic, and at least 105 tonnes is estimated to reach the sea from land-based sources in South Africa each year – making SA a massive contributor to plastic sea water. Further to this South Africa sends around 95 million tonnes of waste to its 826 landfill sites and less than 40% of the materials are recycled. Additionally we produce upwards of 65 million tonnes of hazardous waste of which only 6% is recycled.
