Plastic baling facility at Sigiriya
At Sunquick Lanka, sustainability is driven by action. As part of this commitment, the company partnered with Eco Spindlers to establish a plastic baling facility in Sigiriya, an area globally recognized for its natural beauty and cultural significance as a UNESCO-protected heritage destination. This initiative strengthens responsible plastic recovery in the region by ensuring that plastics collected from surrounding communities are properly segregated and directed into verified recycling streams, preventing them from ending up in nature.
Through this strategic investment, Sunquick Lanka now supports the responsible removal of approximately 120,000 kg of PET plastic from the environment every year, plastic that might otherwise pollute ecosystems, waterways, and communities. Beyond the environmental benefit, the initiative also creates real value for local communities by enabling individuals to earn income through plastic collection, while providing an opportunity for students and visitors to witness the recycling process and understand the importance of responsible waste management. By combining environmental protection, community empowerment, and awareness, this initiative demonstrates how a single project can create a meaningful and lasting impact for both people and the planet.
