Circular Economy: How Silafrica’s Partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation Benefits You
- Written by Sandra Francisco
- Published: May 17, 2023
As we navigate through the 21st century, an era marked by a global push towards sustainability, it is essential to recognize the key players leading this charge. Silafrica, a leading provider of plastic packaging solutions in Kenya and East Africa, teamed up with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in 2020, marking a significant step forward in the creation of a global circular economy. This partnership continues to bring a direct, positive impact on your everyday life, as it transforms the way we produce, use, and dispose of plastic, thus ensuring a healthier planet for generations to come.
Stepping into this partnership, Silafrica became the first African packaging manufacturing company to join the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Global Commitment. This move not only underlines Silafrica’s reputation as a sustainability pioneer but also amplifies its capacity to eliminate plastic waste and promote a sustainable future. When you opt to do business with Silafrica, you are actively endorsing this forward-thinking approach, effectively contributing to the preservation of our planet.
Silafrica has critically assessed its portfolio and is targeting unnecessary plastic packaging for elimination. This means that the products you purchase will increasingly be made from sustainable materials, directly contributing to a cleaner environment.
Moreover, Silafrica currently recycles over 2,000 tons per year of secondary industrial packaging and aims to increase this figure to 5,000 tons per year. This boost in recycling efforts will have a meaningful social impact, improving the quality of life in low-income communities by involving them in plastic recovery programs and enhancing the natural environment. By partnering with Silafrica, you become part of this impressive endeavour, supporting both environmental preservation and social upliftment.
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, established in 2010, has been working relentlessly to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. Through insights, business and government collaboration, education, training, and communication, the Foundation seeks to drive systemic change. Silafrica’s partnership with the Foundation solidifies this mission, promising a brighter, more sustainable future. It is fully on board with this vision, setting a target to have 100% reusable, recyclable, or compostable plastic packaging by 2025, with at least 40% of its product made from recycled plastic.
Imagine a world where all your plastic items can be easily reused, recycled, or composted – that’s the future Silafrica is working towards, for your benefit and the benefit of our planet.
By partnering with Silafrica, you become part of this transformative journey, taking a stand for sustainability and playing a critical role in preserving our planet.
