Welcome to our Recycling Video Series
Recycling isn’t just about reducing waste – it’s about empowering people to become stewards of the environment, starting in their own homes. In South Africa, one of the biggest hurdles to achieving this is the knowledge gap surrounding recycling and waste management. Our mission is to bridge that gap.
Through our video series, we aim to educate and inspire, offering practical insights into recycling and the circular economy.
Whether you’re a student, teacher, concerned citizen, or business leader, you’ll find something valuable here. Join us as we explore effective recycling practices and show how we can all contribute to a more sustainable future. These videos are not just informative—they’re a blueprint for a better tomorrow.
Waste is a gateway to sustainability… together we can get there.
