MCS Coca-Cola LLC aims to introduce Mongolia’s first beverages packaged in recycled materials to the market starting next year. In support of this goal, MCS Coca-Cola LLC, TML Plastic Recycling Plant, and Total Distribution LLC have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Governor’s Office of Darkhan-Uul Province and the Provincial Education Department.
Darkhan-Uul Province has a relatively high consumption of bottled water and beverages due to its population density and urban lifestyle. Recognizing this, the province’s Development Program through 2030 includes measures to improve waste management systems. Under the cooperation framework, plastic waste will be accepted at the TML Plastic Recycling Plant’s collection point in Khutul , Darkhan-Uul Province. In addition, educational institutions at all levels will implement awareness and behavior-change activities related to waste separation and recycling.
Established in 2021 at the initiative of MCS Coca-Cola, TML Plastic Recycling Plant is a world-class facility dedicated to recycling plastic bottles from water and beverage products in line with international standards. Meanwhile, Total Distribution LLC, a subsidiary of the MCS Group, will handle the transportation of collected plastic waste as part of its corporate social responsibility efforts.
Darkhan-Uul is the first province to sign such a cooperation agreement. Going forward, similar memoranda will be signed with other provinces to expand plastic recycling efforts nationwide, as approximately 40 percent of water and beverage plastic waste originates from rural areas.
Plastic Collection Point in Darkhan:
Darkhan-Uul Province, Orkhon Street, 2nd Khoroo, Enkhtal Khutul, 45th Street
Through this partnership, Darkhan-Uul Province becomes an early regional participant in advancing Mongolia’s circular economy and supporting the “World Without Waste” vision.
