The Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League, Massy Women’s Caribbean Premier League, and the Trinbago Knight Riders are celebrating a successful partnership with SWMCOL to recycle plastic containers at the matches at the Queen’s Park Oval and Brian Lara Cricket Academy.
SWMCOL provided dedicated plastic recycling containers around the stadiums, as well as booths set up to educate fans on the benefits of recycling and where they can drop off their recyclable waste in T&T.
In total, 505 bags of recyclable waste were collected across the 10 matches in Trinidad, between the 5th and 10th September 2023. This represents over 5,000 pounds of recyclable materials that was diverted from landfills.
SWMCOL’s CEO, Sean De Souza, said: “Cricket, especially the CPL in its current format, has always been the passion that unites us as a region and we are proud to associate SWMCOL with the CPL and TKR.”
