To mark World Environment Day and reaffirm its commitment to raising awareness of the importance of recycling and saving the environment, Mpact Recycling announced that it would once again be sponsoring the Mrs South Africa pageant and women empowerment programme. The partnership will continue until the winner of the Mrs South Africa pageant is crowned in October.
During the clean-up week, which runs from 11-17 September and includes Recycling Day on 16 September, the contestants are encouraged to include recycling efforts while also enabling their selected schools and communities to raise funds. Mpact Recycling has helped set up recycling efforts at more than 2,000 schools and communities.
