Mwezi uliopita, tulizindua kampeni ya kuongeza ukusanyaji wa chupa za rangi. Tulikusanya tani 21 za chupa nyeusi kwa ajili ya kuchakata!
MeTL ni fahari kuwa mwanachama wa Petpro, shirika la wajibu wa ziada za wazalishaji wa chupa za PET kwa ajili ya ukusanyaji na kuchakata.
Tumejitolea kuongeza juhudi zetu za kuchakata. Pamoja, tunaweza kuunda maisha ya usafi na ya kijani kibichi.

Tanzanian billionaire Mohamed Dewji has announced the launch of a campaign by his company MeTL to recycle coloured bottles.
Dewji, who is the President of MeTL, said the Dar es Salaam-based beverage producer launched the campaign in May this year.
"Last month, we launched a campaign to boost the collection of coloured bottles, gathering 21 metric tonnes of black bottles for recycling," Dewji announced on X.
"We are committed to scaling up our recycling efforts for a cleaner, greener future."
Dewji said MeTL is a member of PETpro, which is an industry-managed producer responsibility organisation (PREO) practicing voluntary extended producer responsibility.
Dewji told CNN last year that MeTL sells 1 billion bottles of its popular energy drink Mo Xtra a year.
The company wants to hit 3.5 billion bottles a year over the next 2-3 years.
The problem with energy drinks is that it is a light-sensitive product that comes in coloured bottles, which were not previously recycled.
The Bakhresa Group, another major producer, is yet to make public its plans to recycle coloured bottles of its Azam Energy drink.
Recycled PET (rPET) plastic can be made into bottles, clamshell food containers, trays, cups, carpet, clothing, fiber fill, and many other materials.
Clear and light blue bottles are the most economically attractive feedstock for mechanical recyclers, as the resulting clear rPET is in high demand for the production of items such as bottles and thermoforms, both for food and non-food applications.
This means that coloured PET bottles, mostly used for energy drinks and other beverages, are being discarded into the environment as recyclers prefer clear and light blue bottles.
Some countries, including South Korea and India, have banned hard-to-recycle plastic products, such as coloured PET bottles.
Discussions on similar voluntary or regulatory bans are ongoing in other companies or countries worldwide.
