Banlastic Egypt, an Alexandria-based social enterprise that tackles plastic pollution organized a beach cleanup on the 13th of August 2022 to raise the public's awareness about COP27 and of plastic pollution and how single-use plastic waste harms marine life if it eventually ends up in seas and oceans.
Banlastic is a group of environmentalists who want to raise awareness about climate change. The organization began activities in 2018, with the long-term goal of encouraging people to reduce their use of plastic and promoting regulatory reform.
The waste collected was divided into four categories: recyclable PET plastic bottles and cups, non-recyclable waste, cigarette ends, and bottle caps.
The PET plastic waste is sent to a recycling company, the cigarette ends are sent to another company that treats and uses them as filling material for making bean bags, and the bottle caps are sent to a charitable project that sells them and uses the money to buy chairs for people with special needs.
