Campaign to collect bottles

Companies with more than 200 employees are being urged to send plastic bottles accumulated at their premises to Masafi company for recycling.
The bottles will be collected by Masafi collection centres and sent to Fujairah for recycling into non-food plastic items. The corporate recycling service aims to reduce the environmental impact of plastic bottles. The service is part of Masafi's Carbon Action Plan - an initiative to reduce the carbon footprint in the UAE launched by the company in July 2008 according to a report in “Gulf News.”
The company has already collected approximately 300 metric tonnes of plastic for recycling purposes since the launch of the action plan. The plan is aimed at reducing the amount of carbon emissions from its manufacturing unit, product offerings, systems as well as services and becoming a total environment-friendly organisation.
Masafi adopted the Carbon Action Plan to measure and reduce the carbon emissions and move towards a carbon negative environment.
The company launched the Brown Carton Box - a new packaging concept, which significantly reduced the amount of corrugated carton used. Masafi also installed energy-efficient non-CFC chillers at its bottling plant in Ras Al Khaimah as a major step towards safeguarding the environment.
