TOTALENERGIES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MINIPLAST RECYCLES USED LUBRICANT BOTTLES

In a groundbreaking initiative for sustainability, TotalEnergies Marketing Ghana (TEMG) has partnered with Miniplast, a leading plastic recycling company, to tackle lubricant bottle waste and transform it into valuable products. This collaboration focuses on collecting lubricant bottles from service stations and recycling them into durable, functional items such as chairs, buckets, and more.

The initiative emerged from an internal innovation challenge, underscoring TotalEnergies' commitment to finding creative solutions to environmental challenges. Through this partnership, TotalEnergies and Miniplast are addressing waste pollution while demonstrating the significant role corporations can play in combating the global plastic waste crisis.

In 2024, the partnership achieved significant results, collecting over 8,800 lubricant bottles weighing more than 2,128 kilograms from service stations in the Greater Accra Region. These bottles were recycled into functional items, including tables and chairs. Some of these items were generously donated by Miniplast to various service stations and the Head Office as part of their goodwill gesture, highlighting the tangible impact of the collaboration. Looking ahead, TotalEnergies plans to expand its collection stations in 2025 to further boost recycling efforts and increase the volume of lubricant bottles diverted from landfills. This initiative reinforces TotalEnergies' commitment to sustainability and its ongoing efforts to contribute to a greener future.
