Since 2019, we have been collecting plastic bottles from various beaches and locations. While our efforts initially felt futile—since the bottles we collected were sent to the Waste Management Company (WAMCO) by the council to be trashed to the dump sites just outside the city limits—we are now thrilled to announce that all the bottles we gather are being sent to Parley Maldives for recycling. From June to August 2024, we successfully shipped 6,500 bottles to Parley Maldives.
The task is not easy; we manually press each bottle and fill the jumbo bags ourselves. However, our commitment to making a positive impact on the environment fuels our passion and determination. Knowing that our efforts contribute to a cleaner planet brings us both happiness and motivation to continue our work.
