Unilever and the Alliance to End Plastic Waste announce collaboration to advance plastic waste management in Sub-Saharan Africa

To enhance the collection, management, and recycling of waste in South Africa and the wider Sub-Saharan region, the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (the “Alliance”) and Unilever have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore a joint effort to tackle the region’s plastic waste challenge.

Our Strategic Pillars

Infrastructure

01

Our aim is to help develop infrastructure systems that can eventually be owned and operated by the communities they serve.

Innovation

02

Innovative ideas that are translated into scalable solutions can help to address plastic waste across the value chain.

Education & Engagement

03

Empowering communities with the knowledge and tools to be part of the solution forms the ‘heartware’ that helps ensure that the ‘hardware’ we develop can have long-lasting impact.

Cleanup

04

By engaging communities in cleanup activities, we encourage them to get involved in keeping their environments litter-free. Cleanups are also the first step towards proper waste collection, processing, and recycling.

Let’s work together
