In year 2022, our team on Mantanani Island has successfully prevented more than 52,000kg wastes from ending up polluting the island and its surrounding environments. With the recycling collection centre (Mantanani Plastic Recycling Centre) on the island, which was established in 2018 and run by our team together with members of the local community, recyclable materials such as plastic bottles were compacted before being packed and sent out of the island to recycling centre on mainland. Every month, our team collected around 4,000 to 6,000 plastic bottles, especially PET bottles. Other recyclable materials such as glass bottles, cans, metals and electrical wastes were also sent out of the island to be recycled. Food waste on the other hand was composted on the island for fertiliser, which will be used by the locals in their community farming.
