Bluewater picks 85,000 kilos of plastic waste from beaches

Bluewater, the global Swedish water purification and beverage solutions provider for homes and public dispensing, has helped clean 85,000 kilograms of plastic waste in the past three years from coastal areas – that is the equivalent of approximately 7.1 million PET bottles. Working with Empower, an international Norwegian plastic recycling organisation, the Bluewater initiative saw waste collected, sorted, and recycled in numerous African and Asian coastal areas, including Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda, Tanzania, India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia.
