Zambia Sugar joined the global community in commemorating World Environment Day, observed annually on 5 June. This year’s theme, “Ending Plastic Pollution,” highlights the urgent need to address one of the most critical environmental challenges of our time. Each year, millions of tonnes of plastic waste enter natural ecosystems, harming wildlife, polluting water sources, and accelerating climate change. The campaign calls for collective action to reduce plastic consumption and implement sustainable practices that support a cleaner, healthier planet for future generations.

As part of our commitment to reducing plastic waste across our operations and supply chain, Zambia Sugar has implemented a range of initiatives, including green procurement practices, promotion of a circular economy, provision of waste segregation facilities, and community clean-up and awareness campaigns, among others.

To mark this important occasion, Zambia Sugar, in collaboration with other partners, participated in a commemoration event held in Lusaka, a city where the effects of plastic pollution are particularly pronounced.

Ending plastic pollution is not just a global goal, it’s a responsibility we all share.
