(NOTIZIA IN BREVE) Ecopost, un’azienda keniota che ricicla i rifiuti di plastica per creare alternative ecologiche per recinzioni, segnaletica e materiali da costruzione, ha collaborato con Borealis per aumentare il riciclaggio dei rifiuti in Kenya e promuovere un’economia circolare. Borealis finanzierà le attività di Ecopost, tra cui il rafforzamento delle capacità, la formazione e il coinvolgimento di più raccoglitori di rifiuti, oltre a finanziare kit di avvio imprenditoriale per gruppi di giovani e donne emarginati. Entrambe le società condividono la visione di creare un impatto socio-economico e ambientale positivo impedendo ai rifiuti di disperdersi nell’ambiente.
(COMUNICATO STAMPA) VIENNA, 29-Mar-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Borealis, un’azienda chimica austriaca attiva nei settori delle poliolefine e leader europeo nel riciclaggio di poliolefine, prodotti chimici di base e fertilizzanti, annuncia la collaborazione con Ecopost per guidare l’economia circolare e sostenere le comunità emarginate in Kenya.
Ecopost, un’azienda che guida un’economia circolare raccogliendo e riciclando i rifiuti di plastica, affronta queste sfide attraverso il suo modello replicabile e scalabile. Le sue soluzioni offrono alternative ecologiche alla plastica a base fossile per recinzioni, segnaletica e materiali da costruzione, creando posti di lavoro per operatori, raccoglitori di rifiuti di plastica e distributori.
La capitale del Kenya, Nairobi, genera oltre 2.400 tonnellate di rifiuti solidi ogni giorno, contribuendo alle circa 22.000 tonnellate di rifiuti prodotte ogni giorno nel paese. Anche la povertà rappresenta una sfida, con il 36% dei kenioti che vive al di sotto della soglia di povertà e la deforestazione in aumento a causa della domanda di materiali da costruzione.
Un pilastro fondamentale del modello di business di Ecopost è lavorare con gruppi di donne e giovani emarginati che raccolgono, smistano, triturano e preparano materiale di scarto per la produzione di pellet e legname di plastica. Ecopost formalizza la comunità informale di raccolta dei rifiuti e fornisce formazione e sviluppo delle capacità per ottenere un impatto su larga scala e un reddito equo e regolare per i raccoglitori di rifiuti.
Borealis, un fornitore globale di soluzioni innovative nei settori delle poliolefine, dei prodotti chimici di base e dei fertilizzanti, finanzierà le attività di Ecopost per aumentare il riciclaggio dei rifiuti in Kenya e promuovere un’economia circolare in linea con gli Obiettivi di sviluppo sostenibile delle Nazioni Unite. Entrambe le società condividono la stessa visione per fermare la dispersione dei rifiuti nell’ambiente e creare un impatto socio-economico e ambientale positivo. Borealis sosterrà lo sviluppo di capacità, la formazione e il coinvolgimento di più raccoglitori di rifiuti, oltre a finanziare kit di avvio imprenditoriale per gruppi di giovani e donne, attraverso il Borealis Social Fund, che contribuisce al benessere sociale delle comunità in tre aree di interesse: istruzione integrazione sociale, acqua ed energia, rifiuti ed efficienza delle risorse.
“Accogliamo con grande favore il supporto di Borealis alle nostre attività per implementare i moduli selezionati per migliorare la raccolta informale dei rifiuti”, afferma Lorna Rutto, CEO di Ecopost Ltd. “I fondi avranno un impatto positivo per Ecopost così come migliaia di giovani e donne nelle aree emarginate. Sarà incredibilmente prezioso per creare un impatto socio-economico e ambientale più positivo”.
“I rifiuti mal gestiti hanno un impatto negativo sui mezzi di sussistenza, sulla salute umana e ostacolano lo sviluppo sostenibile. La partnership con Ecopost non solo integra la visione di Borealis verso un’economia circolare, ma aiuta anche a ridurre le differenze socio-economiche, un’area target chiave del Borealis Social Fund”, Markus Horcher, Director Sustainability & Public Affairs at Borealis commenti.
