Another Global Recycling Day well spent.♻️

Thank you to UMngeni Local Municipality for another great gathering and awareness campaign.

18/03/2026

Global Recycling Day is not only about the recycling of waste, but also about rethinking the systems around recycling.

What if recycling wasn't an after thought, but built into how we design, consume and process plastic?

We believe micro recycling is a vital part of that shift, taking solutions closer to where the waste is created, removing plastic from the environment while supporting and empowering communities closest to the problem.

Real change doesn't happen at the end of the chain, it starts at the source, with smarter, more intentional choices.

Our team recently visit Chanja Datti Recycling Co. in Abuja, Nigeria to finish the installation of one of our Micro Recycling Pods and spend time with the amazing running the recycling facility.

We are very proud to be collaborating with these amazing people in their efforts for a cleaner and sustainable future.

We are honored to share that a couple of weeks ago we have been awarded the Durban Chemicals Cluster SME impact award.

It was presented to our Founder and CEO, Oliver, at the recent AGM.

This award means so much to us as it is not just the recognition of our growth over the past 5 years but also the lives we've touched through job creation and community partnerships, as well as our commitment to our circular solutions that protects our waterways and oceans.

Our journey with DCC begun 5 years ago when we took the top spot in their first ever Business Accelerator, giving us access to the market as well as business coaching.
That support meant the world to us and still does today because it reminds us that some partnerships do stand the test of time.

So we would also like to thank the DCC for their support from the beginning of our circular economy journey.

Today kicks off National Clean-Up and Recycle Week.♻️

It’s a reminder that the places we love – our rivers, beaches, oceans, cities and environment – only stay beautiful if we look after them.
At Ocean Plastic Technologies, we believe this isn’t just about us.
It’s about our children and our children’s children.

Every piece of waste picked up, every choice to recycle, every effort to protect our environment and oceans makes a difference.

This week, we’re rolling up our sleeves and cleaning up - because every action, no matter how small, makes a difference.
