PETCO Takes a Lead in Addressing Marine Waste in Africa
Published on by Janine Osborne, Stakeholders Relations Manager at PETCO in Non Profit
PETCO has partnered with The Sustainable Seas Trust (SST) to set up the communications hub for The African Marine Waste Network (AMWN).
An ambitious collaboration between the 38 coastal and island states of Africa, the AWMN represents the first dedicated approach to addressing marine waste at a pan-African level – an African contribution to solving a global crisis.
The African Marine Waste Network promises to be a game changer.
As Cheri Scholtz, CEO of PETCO, explains; “PETCO believes that the partnership with SST and the African Marine Waste Network has great potential to bring together key stakeholders in the PET value chain – government (national, provincial and local), the private sector, manufacturers, converters, bottlers, brand owners, recyclers, collectors, retailers, and consumers – to jointly develop and implement plans to address the challenges presented by waste in the marine environment.”
