Intertek Bulgaria is taking part in the Caps for Future initiative
Starting in 2017, “Caps for the future” is one of Bulgaria’s most loved campaigns, supported by both the business and the citizens from all parts of the country. And the results are exponentially getting more significant each year. Once every six months a big gathering event is being organized, where people bring all the plastic caps they have collected. The organizers transport them to a plastic recycling plant where they are being recycled.
For the last 4,5 years Caps for the Future has donated 22 incubators to 22 municipal hospitals in the country. Medical equipment for children's and neonatal wards was purchased for another 14 Bulgarian medical institutions, first for Bulgaria - neonatal ambulances with special equipment to help the youngest patients and off-road ambulance for victims in hard-to-reach places.
Intertek has been participating in the campaign for the last two years. We are collecting plastic caps in our office from the everyday usage of beverages, but also our team members are encouraged to take the same steps in their households. So, we are gathering the plastic for each campaign and arrange the transportation to the collection points. This campaign is another excellent example of how little personal efforts can create a huge change and a “snowball” effect of kindness, because every developed civil society is driven by its more active citizens who dedicate part of their free time in order to make their environment a better place to live.
Join us in congratulating the Intertek Bulgaria team for their dedicated everyday effort for reducing plastic pollution.
