We are continuously looking for ways to protect our paradise. On Global Recycling Day, we hosted our first global Plastic Fishing Tournament, a series of events held around the world to remove plastic debris from the ocean and raise awareness about marine plastic pollution. This initiative demonstrates the importance of coming together as a community and trying to minimise our negative impact on the planet we love.

Needing some of the plastic waste
collected from the sea for our Corona
Better World Plastic Mannequin
Exhibition (i.e. the Canadian concept)
in September.
COLOMBIA
With participation of Cartagena´s
authorities and the Community Council
of the zone, the plastic was taken to a
collection center in the Punta Arena zone
where it will be classified, so it can be
recycled and become part of the
production chain again in different
industries.
Corona invested in a plastic compacting
machine of a 5 tons capacity so that the
community
has a greater installed capacity for the
future.
SOUTHAFRICA
This stop of the Global Plastic Fishing
Tournament engaged 100 members of the
fishing community for a full day of shing
activity that resulted in 300kgs of plastic that
we removed from our oceans. That collected
plastic will be donated to Ramtsilo, a 100%
black female owned company, that provides
an incredibly sustainable solution to the
global plastic pollution pandemic by turning
plastic waste into bricks that can be used in
construction. In recognition of the importance
of supporting business in the recycling value
chain Corona made a commitment to support
Ramtsilo and help them expand operations at
the end of 2021, commitment that continues
to this day.
