MCS Coca-Cola Company and the plastic recycling TML plant announced the “Celebrate Naadam Without Plastic Waste” initiative for the second year and successfully collected 600 kg of plastic around the Central Stadium.
During the National Naadam Festival, tens of thousands of people gather, and an equivalent amount of plastic waste is generated. Therefore, this activity was organized to influence the habits of festivalgoers by encouraging them to reduce the volume of plastic and sort it for disposal in the RECYCLE ME eco bins of MCS Coca-Cola Company.
Additionally, a demonstration was set up to show the public the plastic recycling process, where recycled rPET material was made by hand and presented to visitors. T-shirts, bags, hats, and other items were also displayed to demonstrate that recycled plastic can become raw material for clothing.
MCS Coca-Cola Company’s Public Affairs and Communications Manager, E. Oyun-Erdene:
Our plastic bottle supplier, the plastic recycling “TML” plant, is responsible for collecting plastic. While we previously collected plastic equivalent to 47 percent of the beverages we sold, in the past year since launching the campaign our collection rate has increased to 61 percent. In other words, organizations, residential associations, and entertainment venues that sort plastic are now supplying it to us.
The plastic recycling “TML” plant is personally meeting with all places that generate waste to propose cooperation. Currently, out of 839 organizations that have signed agreements to supply plastic to the “TML” plant, about 390 have begun actual deliveries.
We would like to express our gratitude to the team of the City Maintenance Department for their support.
