ABOUT

PETCO Inspiration Session (Port Elizabeth)

PETCO created the Associate Membership Programme for organizations who are not represented in the shareholding of PETCO but would like to become part of the PETCO family as they subscribe to our principles.

This is workshop 2 of 2 for the remainder of 2018, intended as inspiration sessions where PETCO Award Winners and partners tell us their amazing stories.

There are many incredible things happening on a daily basis in the recycling industry in South Africa, which are driven by a remarkable network of people. These people deserve to be recognised and celebrated as innovative entrepreneurs, employers, and champions in their own right, that continue to do good for the environment and their communities through the work they do in the recycling industry. 

The PETCO Inspiration Sessions are intended as a platform for those of our partners that are working to revolutionise the recycling sector. It is a platform for our partners to share their stories, while inspiring and enlightening people about the possibilities to change lives that exist within the PET recycling sector, and beyond. Attendees will also hear about some of the golden rules of starting a recycling business from successful waste-trepreneurs. 


Date: 21 November 2018
