Environmental Policy

1. Policy Statement

At My Plastic Limited, environmental responsibility is embedded in our business model. We operate as a circular manufacturing company, transforming post-consumer and post-industrial polypropylene into high-quality finished products while reducing environmental impact.

Our commitment is to prevent pollution, minimize waste, conserve natural resources, and continuously improve our environmental performance. We comply with all applicable environmental legislation, including requirements set by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), and align our operations with recognized sustainability best practices.

We recognize that responsible manufacturing is not optional, it is essential to long-term economic resilience and environmental protection.

2. Environmental Objectives

We are committed to:

  • Maximizing the use of recycled polypropylene (PP) to reduce reliance on virgin fossil-based plastics

  • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions across our operations and supply chain

  • Minimizing manufacturing waste through closed-loop material recovery systems

  • Promoting circular economy principles through reuse, recycling, and product durability

  • Improving energy and water efficiency in production processes

  • Preventing environmental contamination and controlling operational impacts

  • Ensuring responsible and traceable sourcing of raw materials

  • Complying fully with NEMA regulations and all applicable environmental laws

  • Raising environmental awareness among employees, suppliers, and partners

3. Roles and Responsibilities
