We-Recycle, Mauritius

23/09/2026

We're proud to be the recycling partner for this year's Chinatown Food & Cultural Festival with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce Mauritius 🐉 🥢♻️

Two days of great food and culture in the heart of Port Louis also means a lot of packaging, plastic bottles and cans. Our team will make sure what can be recycled gets collected and given a second life, not sent to landfill.

So come hungry, enjoy the festivities, and when you're done, take a few seconds to sort your waste. Small gesture, big difference.

A warm thank you to the organisers for making sustainability part of the celebration.

See you there!

📅 26 & 27 September 2026, from 12 PM
📍 Chinatown, Port Louis

12/09/2026

Join us next Sunday to celebrate World Clean-Up Day with our partner Swiss Club Mauritius - Club Suisse de Maurice and sponsor PIM Recycling!!!

We count on your support, motivation, and willingness to keep Mauritius Clean 💚

Chers membres, sponsors et amis du Club Suisse de Maurice (CSM)ainsi que les amis des réseaux sociaux.

​Comme chaque année dans le cadre du World CleanUp Day, nous vous faisons parvenir cette invitation pour le Grand Nettoyage annuel organisé par « le maillon » !

​📅 Dimanche 20 septembre 2026

⏰ De 08h45 à 12h00

📍 Lieu : Le Pas Géométrique de Labonté (au pied du Morne)

🤝 Rendez-vous à 08h45 au bord de la route du Morne (en direction du Golf) pour les consignes et la photo de groupe !

​Cette action que nous menons chaque année depuis 2019 nous tient vraiment à cœur : c’est important de prendre soin de notre terre d’accueil et de contribuer à l’attractivité de notre belle île (aussi bien pour les habitants que pour les touristes, qui devraient pouvoir repartir avec une bonne impression et faire de la promotion pour Maurice — une destination de choix, respectueuse de l’environnement…).

​N’hésitez pas à convier vos familles et amis, y compris les enfants (c’est une activité très éducative), tous les bras seront bienvenus !

​💡 Informations pratiques :
​Pensez à apporter vos gants de jardinage.

​Des sacs poubelle pour le tri (PET, canettes, verre) seront fournis.

​Il y a assez de places de parking, mais nous encourageons vivement le co-voiturage.

​Grâce à notre sponsor PIM Recycling, les braves nettoyeurs auront droit à la fin du nettoyage (vers 12h) à un sandwich (VEG ou NON-VEG), un gâteau et une boisson.

​Si la météo le permet, nous improviserons un pique-nique sur place (pensez à prendre votre glacière, denrées préférées, couvertures, chaises ou même un grill !).

​Nous avons déjà reçu la bénédiction et les encouragements de la Fondation « Le Morne Héritage » (UNESCO) ainsi que la confirmation du Lions Club. Nous avons également sollicité d’autres entités (comme la Mauritius Police Force, Mauri-Facilities, Le Black River District Council, Atics) dont nous attendons la confirmation. Nous pouvons d’ores et déjà compter sur nos partenaires We Recycle et PIM Recycling (notre sponsor) et nous espérons réunir de nombreux volontaires.

​📩 Inscription obligatoire avant le vendredi 18 septembre 2026 à midi :

Merci de me contacter en précisant le nombre de participants et le choix des sandwichs (VEG / NON VEG).

[email protected]
(+230) 5 251 19 66

​Merci d’avance pour votre retour et au plaisir de vous retrouver le 20 septembre sur place !

​Bien amicalement,
Sheila Koller,
Présidente

💚 From bottle to filament, live at Coeur de Ville Tamarin!

Two weeks ago, our Resikle Pou Grandi beneficiaries set up shop at Coeur de Ville Tamarin and showed shoppers how a used PET bottle, cut into a continuous strip and drawn through a simple hand tool, comes out into filament ready to be turned into something new.

No factory. Just a bottle that was on its way to landfill, and pairs of hands that know what to do with it.

The reactions said it all — people stopped, watched, asked questions, and tried it themselves. Many had never imagined that the bottle in their shopping bag could have a second life.

A big thank you to Coeur de Ville Tamarin for opening their space to us, and to our beneficiaries, who did the demonstrating, the explaining and the convincing.

♻️ Every bottle has a next chapter. Ours are being written by the women of Resikle Pou Grandi.

What a journey it's been! We wrapped up our 'Oui Recycle!' awareness campaign in primary schools across Mauritius, and the numbers tell a story we're incredibly proud of.

Over the course of the campaign, we reached 19,898 students through 886 sessions in 255 schools island-wide. That's thousands of young minds learning why recycling matters, how waste is sorted, and the small everyday choices that add up to a cleaner Mauritius.

None of this would have been possible without our 13 eco-educators, who travelled from school to school, classroom to classroom, bringing energy and patience to every single session. Their dedication is the heart of this campaign, and we're deeply grateful for the passion they shared.

To all the schools that welcomed us, from the headmasters and headmistresses to the teachers and the pupils themselves: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The students' enthusiasm was remarkable once again, demonstrating that the next generation is more than ready to protect this island!

This reach would not have been possible without partners who believe in our work. We are sincerely grateful to Investec Bank (Mauritius) Ltd and Small Step Matters - Social Impact Platform for standing behind We-Recycle.
