Plastics SA continues to play an important role in supporting community-driven environmental initiatives, helping organisations ease the operational and financial burden of keeping our waterways clean.

One such beneficiary, the Zandvlei Trust, has made significant progress in protecting the Zandvlei lake system thanks to this support. The Trust has successfully installed litter traps along the Zandvlei canal, preventing waste from flowing into the lake. In addition, metal grates have been fitted to stop large objects from entering the water, while broken nets and litter booms have been repaired and reinstated to improve waste capture and removal.

This collaborative effort is helping to restore and protect the Zandvlei ecosystem, demonstrating how partnerships can make a tangible difference in keeping our waterways clean and healthy.
