The search for South Africa’s sustainability saviours is on – and the chances are you already know one. It could be a waste picker in your neighbourhood, a recycling initiative in your town or city, or a waste collection and recycling entrepreneur you’ve come across.
The need to highlight the people and organisations working to create a litter-free and sustainable future is greater than ever, says Petco CEO Cheri Scholtz.
“Through recognising excellence in reuse, recycling and waste minimisation around the country, the Petco Awards aim to drive positive change among consumers and in the collection and recycling sector,” says Scholtz.
Additionally, Scholtz adds, sustainability heroes are being recognised for “turning trash into treasure” and helping to bring income opportunities to their communities through their work to grow the circular economy.
Nominations for entries close 9 February. Further details can be found online by clicking here.
