Nigerian glass manufacturer Beta Glass has formed a partnership to enhance recycling in the African country.
It has partnered with Wecyclers waste management company to launch a fleet of cullet trucks to collect and transport glass from collection points to Beta Glass’ production facilities.
By integrating the 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.
They also made it known that the partnership would allow enhanced recycling efficiency, impact the environment positively, create more job opportunities and would raise more awareness about the importance of recycling and environmental stewardship among the Nigerian populace.
Darren Bennet-Voci, Beta Glass CEO, (pictured above centre) said the decision to work with Wecyclers was borne out of the need to enhance environmental responsibility.
“The launch of the cullet trucks will not only enhance our recycling capabilities but also set a benchmark for the industry.
"We are excited to see the positive impact this initiative will have on our environment and our community.”
