Recycle for Good
Nada se desperdicia
La Fundación SIGapoya proyectos innovadores que protegen el medio ambiente y tienen un impacto positivo en la comunidad. No desperdiciar nada es un objetivo común de todas las iniciativas. Esto también se aplica al programa de reciclaje comunitario Recycle for Good - Actuando con Propósito, cuyo objetivo es devolver al ciclo los materiales reciclables.
Reciclar por el medio ambiente
La contaminación del agua y el suelo por los residuos es uno de los mayores problemas para nuestro medio ambiente. Recycle for Good forma parte del compromiso Recursos+ de SIG. Para 2025, la compañía mundial pretende reducir a la mitad su impacto medioambiental y duplicar sus beneficios para la sociedad. Recycle for Good pretende animar a los consumidores a llevar los envases usados y otros materiales reciclables, como envases de cartón para de bebidas, aceite de cocina, cartón, aluminio o vidrio, a un punto de recolección para su reciclaje. El primer punto de acopio de Recycle for Good se abrió en Yakarta (Indonesia) en marzo de 2023.
Circular economy to protect the environment
SIG's commitment goes beyond immediate measures. The globally active company is working with industry colleagues and associations to improve the recycling of beverage cartons.
The SIG Foundation supports this vision through Recycle for Good, an initiative designed to boost recycling rates and promote mindful use of natural resources.
El modelo de Brasil
Desde 2018, SIG ha apoyado a la startup social brasileña SO+MA, con el objetivo de motivar a la comunidad a reciclar y promover un comportamiento consciente con el medio ambiente. Con esta experiencia y el apoyo de SO+MA, la fundación desarrolló su programa global Recycle for Good, que se introdujo por primera vez en Indonesia y posteriormente se replicará. Indonesia tiene una población enorme con un impacto ecológico potencial muy importante, siempre que la gente empiece poco a poco a adoptar un estilo de vida más respetuoso con el medio ambiente.
Collecting is the way to go
Recycle for Good promotes recycling of used packaging, including beverage cartons, glass, plastic, and more. Since launching the first collection booth in Jakarta in March 2023, the initiative has expanded to numerous collection points citywide, along with household collection services.

Acting with Purpose
Actuar con determinación
El programa Recycle for Good en Indonesia está diseñado para satisfacer las necesidades de estilo de vida de la población urbana. Se informa a la gente del punto de acopio a través de las redes sociales y directamente en el centro comercial de Cibubur Junction, en Yakarta Este. En el contenedor, los empleados del socio local de reciclaje Armadakemasan aceptan los artículos reciclables y educan a los consumidores sobre la importancia del reciclaje y los efectos positivos de la economía circular en el medio ambiente.
El reciclaje se recompensa
Recycle for Good pretende cambiar la mentalidad demostrando el valor del reciclaje a individuos y comunidades.
Este innovador modelo de fomento del reciclaje aporta beneficios medioambientales y socioeconómicos. Ofrece a los habitantes de zonas de bajos ingresos la oportunidad de mejorar su calidad de vida ahorrando dinero en artículos de primera necesidad gracias a los vales o aprendiendo habilidades que les abren la puerta a nuevas oportunidades laborales.

Polluted paradise
With more than 274 million inhabitants, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world. Its 17,000 islands form the most extensive island state in the world and the heart of the Malay Archipelago, which combines almost all tropical and subtropical landscape types on earth in a contrasting diversity.
Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest rates of marine pollution. The island nation has been drowning in plastic waste for years. One of the main reasons is that many small islands have no waste collection and no municipal disposal system for household and other waste. Due to a lack of knowledge about the dangers involved, people dump their waste in landfills, burn it or dispose of it in the sea.
An initiative in Egypt
An initiative along the lines of Recycle for Good has also been launched in Egypt. Using a mobile app, consumers can have their used beverage cartons collected from their homes or workplaces and receive a reward for doing so. SIG is working with Tagaddod on this project, the first company in Egypt to enable the direct collection of waste from households and the food industry through technology-based solutions. The project is an example of how innovative partnerships can be used to increase recycling and circularity of used beverage cartons and other valuable materials.
Depending on the value and weight of the materials dropped off, reward points are credited on the Recycle for Good app. These points can be exchanged for food vouchers or other essentials.
1. Anyone can register and participate in the program for free via the Recycle for Good app.
2. Recyclable materials are accepted and weighed free of charge at the Recycle for Good collection point.
3. Reward points are credited on the Recycle for Good app for the materials deposited according to a value scale.
4. The reward points can be exchanged for goods vouchers or services from Recycle for Good partners.
5. The deposited materials are collected and processed by a designated recycling partner.
Effective sustainability strategy
Recycle for Good is an example of how SIG implements its sustainability strategy to ultimately give back more to society and the environment than it takes out. Working with rewards and recycling partners to support the collection and recycling of beverage cartons and other recyclable materials is part of this commitment.
