Environmental Sustainability Program
The objective is to positively influence behaviors and create new habits in Communities and the Public/Private Sector of Jamaica. FDWO has engaged these sectors / communities to educate and empower them to separate plastic bottles for recycling and reduce plastic pollution. The organization is the liaison between grassroots communities and the Recycling Partners of Jamaica
FDWO “Shape the Future of Waste” Campaign was launched in anticipation of Global Recycling Day March 18th, 2021 which allows community partners to join forces to increase the percentage of plastic bottles collected. The campaign will inform / educate on all recyclable materials and how to reuse and reduce your carbon footprint. Successful outcomes will be achieved through awareness campaigns and outreach programs
“The Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation, Hon. Daryl Vaz, noted that annually, Jamaica produces 800 million PET bottles, and that as of September 2019, only 20 per cent was being collected” FDWO goal is to increase that percentage one Cooperate Office / Community at a time!
