Tetra Pak, Mpact Recycling, and Food & Trees for Africa collaborate for #67Minutes<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"Trees\"<\/p>\n

Tetra Pak and Mpact Recycling, in partnership with Food & Trees for Africa, have planted 54 trees between Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban to celebrate Mandela Day.<\/p>\n

Employees from Tetra Pak and Mpact Recycling planted 18 trees at each of the three sites on Wednesday, July 20 in Johannesburg and Pinetown, and Thursday, July 21 in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Mpact Recycling, we\u2019re in the business of sustainability through our active commitment to job creation, looking after the environment and socio economic activities,\u201d says John Hunt, MD of Mpact Recycling, the leading paper and plastic recycler in South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur brand promise is to Protect What\u2019s Good,\u201d says Agripa Munyai, environmental manager at Tetra Pak South Africa, \u201cwhich focuses on protecting food, people, and the future. Planting trees is highly effective at promoting environmental sustainability and defeating the climate crisis. It\u2019s also closely related to the partnership we have with Mpact Recycling, which centres around reclaiming our 100% recyclable carton packs right here in South Africa so they can be used again in a variety of ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trees will be planted at Kwabhekilanga Secondary School in Alexandra, Gauteng, John Wesley Primary School in Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal, and Ikamvalethu Primary School in Langa, Western Cape.<\/p>\n

Primary schools were chosen particularly because Nelson Mandela viewed children as Africa\u2019s greatest asset. \u201cAfrica is renowned for its beauty, its natural heritage and prolific resources \u2013 but equally, the\u00a0image of its suffering children haunts the conscience of our Continent and the world,\u201d he said in 1996.<\/p>\n

The time to act is now, and what better opportunity than #67Minutes.<\/p>\n
