Coca-Cola rolls out “Adopt a Bin” at Port City Colombo
View(s):Coca-Cola Beverages Sri Lanka Ltd (CCBSL) has partnered with Port City Colombo to roll out its “Adopt a Bin” programme in a new benchmark for corporate involvement in PET plastic waste management.
Port City Colombo, Sri Lanka’s first foreign-currency designated Special Economic Zone and master-planned city development, reinforces its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility by becoming a key partner in enhancing the circularity of PET plastic waste management. As part of this partnership, Port City Colombo will install multiple PET collection bins across its premises, including the Marina Promenade and the public beach, with the aim of encouraging local visitors and international tourists who patronise the project’s leisure activities, to dispose of PET plastic responsibly, the company said in a media release.
Within the framework of this partnership, each bin will be managed by designated personnel who will oversee collection of the waste and coordinate with certified recycling partners. All PET plastic collected through the programme will be sent to certified recycling facilities, where it will be transformed into value-added products such as broom and brush bristles, as well as yarn for garments. These recycled materials will be exported to over 15 countries, contributing to both environmental sustainability and economic value creation. The entire process will be carefully monitored and documented to ensure complete transparency and accountability.
Xiong Hongfeng, Managing Director of CHEC Port City Colombo (Pvt) Ltd added: “This collaboration reflects Port City Colombo’s core commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. By installing PET collection bins across our public spaces — including the Marina Promenade and beach — we hope to promote a culture of responsible waste disposal and PET waste management. With over 91 hectares of public space, we are proud to support a movement that contributes to well-being, environmental stewardship, and a cleaner future for Sri Lanka.’
