Smilozone Cares Ltd. and the Tui Care Foundation have joined forces under the “Destination Zero Waste Jamaica” Programme to combat the island’s growing waste challenges—a pressing issue given that Jamaica generates about 52,000 tonnes of glass waste each year. By leveraging glass’s unique ability to be repeatedly remelted without losing quality, this alliance has established the first dedicated glass recycling center in Jamaica’s northwestern region. Serving as a hub for collecting, sorting, and processing glass waste, the facility aims to significantly reduce what ends up in landfills or pollutes marine habitats. This partnership not only demonstrates a powerful commitment to recycling and repurposing, but also offers an exciting opportunity for everyone—locals, tourists, and businesses—to get involved. By supporting or participating in these efforts, you can help safeguard Jamaica’s natural beauty and inspire broader sustainability practices across the island. Click here to Learn More
