RESEAL TO RECYCLE
Phoenix Beverages through its sustainability pole, PhoenixEarth Initiative, is proud to launch the “Reseal to Recycle” campaign, aimed at educating and empowering the Mauritian population on the importance of recycling.
This campaign encourages everyone to keep the caps on their PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottleswhen disposing of them, ensuring that they can be efficiently recycled along with the bottles.
Building on Success: Continuing Environmental Progress
Now, we are taking our efforts a step further by highlighting the crucial role that HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) or Polypropylene (PP) bottle caps play in the recycling process. By focusing on these caps, we aim to optimise recycling practices and reduce environmental impact across Mauritius.
Why "Reseal to Recycle" Matters
1
The improper disposal of bottle caps is a significant issue in current recycling practices. While PET bottles are commonly recycled, the caps, often made from HDPE or PP, are frequently discarded separately. These materials are fully recyclable, but when not attached to the bottle, they can easily end up in the environment, contributing to pollution.

By encouraging consumers to reseal their bottles with the caps before disposal, we are ensuring that both the bottle and the cap are recycled together. This simple action not only increases recycling rates but also supports a closed-loop system where all packaging components are reused, significantly reducing the environmental footprint.
The Broader Impact of the Campaign
“Reseal to Recycle” is more than just a campaign to boost recycling rates; it’s about fostering a culture of responsible consumption across Mauritius. Phoenix Beverages recognises the vital role that every individual plays in protecting our environment, and this campaign is a call to action for all Mauritians to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Through targeted communication efforts, including social media posts and informative posters, PhoenixEarth Initiative is reaching out to the public to raise awareness about the importance of recycling both PET bottles and their caps.
