South Africa Launches Coast 2 Coast 2026 Environmental Initiative

South Africa’s flagship beach cleanup campaign expands this year to inland waterways and communities, jointly launched by the plastic packaging industry organization Polyco and environmental group Save a Fishie. The initiative aims to remove marine plastic waste, raise public environmental awareness, and promote plastic waste recycling. For the first time, cleanup efforts extend beyond beaches to inland rivers, tackling plastic pollution at its source to prevent it from entering the ocean.
