In a significant move toward sustainable waste management, Crown Beverages has announced a strategic partnership with Waste Pay to address the growing challenge of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste in Jinja City.

This collaboration is part of PepsiCo’s PEP Positive agenda, which emphasizes responsible environmental practices in response to increasing product demand.

The announcement was made yesterday, during a press conference held at the Jinja City Council, where Hilda Mbabazi, CEO of Crown Beverages, expressed the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

 “As the consumption of our on-the-go products rises, so does the volume of PET waste generated. We understand the pressing environmental issues posed by plastic waste, particularly its contribution to climate change,” she stated. “This partnership with Waste Pay reflects our dedication to implementing sustainable waste management solutions.”

Juliet Agnes Kadama, Chairperson of Finance and Planning for Jinja City, welcomed the partnership, highlighting the challenges the newly elevated city faces in managing waste. 

“Our local revenue has been slow, and garbage collection has become a pressing issue for our community. This collaboration with Crown Beverages and Waste Pay is essential for enhancing waste management systems in Jinja,” Kadama remarked. She emphasized that efficient garbage collection is vital for maintaining public health and improving the city’s overall cleanliness.

The event featured a demonstration by Franc Kamugyisha, CEO of Waste Pay, who presented the company’s innovative recycling processes. “We are excited to join forces with Crown Beverages Limited. Together, we can make a substantial impact on PET waste collection and recycling, benefiting both the environment and our communities,” Kamugyisha explained. He elaborated on the technology and strategies Waste Pay employs, which includes sorting, processing, and converting PET waste into reusable materials.

Mbabazi outlined the broader vision for the partnership, stating, “Our initiative in Jinja City is just the beginning. We plan to expand our efforts to other urban areas across Uganda, ensuring a comprehensive approach to PET waste management.” 

She highlighted the importance of community engagement in these efforts, indicating that educational campaigns will accompany the program to raise awareness about recycling and responsible waste disposal.

This partnership not only addresses immediate waste management challenges but also aligns with global sustainability goals. By reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste, Crown Beverages and Waste Pay aim to foster a cleaner, more sustainable environment for the residents of Jinja and beyond.

As both companies move forward with this initiative, they are optimistic about creating a model for successful waste management that can be replicated in other cities facing similar challenges. 

With a shared commitment to innovation and sustainability, Crown Beverages and Waste Pay are poised to make a lasting impact on the landscape of waste management in Uganda.
