It was attended by members of the Acer Africa team, and representatives and volunteers from the non-profit organisation.<br \/>\u201cWe are especially grateful to Acer for their support in this very important endeavour,\u201d said Willem Snyman of Fresh NGO. \u201cRivers form the backbone of our natural environment, and it is essential that we make every effort to keep them as clean and devoid of litter as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keeping South Africa\u2019s rivers clean<\/p>\n<p>Fresh NGO was established to remove pollution and maintain the ecosystem of the Hennops River, which forms an important of the protected Magalies Biosphere. The organisation is committed to protecting the biodiversity of this important natural landmark while also providing essential river security and management services.<\/p>\n<p>Acer\u2019s involvement with the Clean a River campaign is the latest in the electronics manufacturer\u2019s line of corporate social investment (CSI) initiatives that aim to assist South Africans in need and put the spotlight on environmental challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have made it a priority to give back to nature,\u201d said Bobbi Nyamane Marketing Lead at Acer Africa. \u201cWe have a corporate responsibility to take care of our environment &amp; ecosystem, and with the help of Fresh NGO, we are bridging the gap between environmental issues and technology that reflects the clean and green world we want to live in and leave behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing forward, we shall continue with clean-up events in different areas in 2023. By working hard and improving the conditions of our wetlands, we can purify this essential resource and reduce the impact of pollution on our ecosystems,\u201d Nyamane concluded.<br \/>Sustainable technology<\/p>\n<p>Acer has incorporated several design and production methods that not only aim to lower its carbon footprint but also promote sustainable and environmentally positive business practices.<\/p>\n<p>Its range of Acer Vero devices are made with sustainable materials such as post-consumer recycled (PCR) and ocean-bound plastics, and can be recycled at the end of their use period.
