Cargills Ceylon

As part of its continued commitment to environmental sustainability, Cargills Food and Beverage Ltd through its brands KIST and KNUCKLES, has initiated a new plastic waste management project on Sri Lanka’s Southern Expressway.

Four plastic collection bins have been installed at the Welipenna Service Area to promote responsible disposal among commuters and ensure that collected plastic is directed into formal recycling systems.

With the Southern Expressway serving as a high-traffic transit route, this initiative aims to address plastic waste at source and promote more sustainable commuting habits.

This project forms part of Cargills’ broader sustainability agenda, which includes initiatives such as the Ocean Strainer Project in Boralesgamuwa and Wanathamulla, as well as coastal conservation efforts through the adoption of Crow Island Beach.

This Easter, we celebrate the spirit of renewal and togetherness. May it bring fresh opportunities, continued growth and shared success to all.
