Unity Foods continues to showcase a strong commitment to ESG principles through a partnership with The Green Ark (TGA). Both companies signed an MoU, under which TGA collects and transforms scrap materials from Unity Foods to create a diverse array of recycled products intended for reuse. The initiative aims to facilitate the circular economy by mitigating the impact of single-use plastics, which contribute significantly to the deterioration of global ecosystems.

Unity Foods regularly undertakes lasting projects that align with its objectives to reduce the impact of conventional industrialization on the environment. Under the current partnership with The Green Ark, a leading recycling solutions provider, Unity Foods will ensure the traceability of its packaging waste and highlight a robust commitment to a greener environment by contributing to the circular economy. With an average of more than 13,000 kilograms of waste every month, including items like garbage debris, oily pouches, plastic jerry cans, tin scraps, plastic bags, and cardboard cartons, a substantial amount of materials will be recycled, which will not end up in landfills or incinerators that ultimately damage nature.

“Global warming is a present and potent threat, especially for Pakistan, which, despite producing a negligible level of greenhouse gases, faces the brunt of the consequences of this global phenomenon. At Unity Foods, we always aim to set a precedent, particularly with our ESG practices that underscore our commitment to ensuring our children can inherit a safe and healthy planet. This partnership with The Green Ark is another step in this direction, and we aim to continue commencing similar initiatives in the future”, commented Ms. Nageen Rizvi, Head of Corporate Communications & Sustainability at Unity Foods, at the signing ceremony.

At the occasion, Mr. Habib Elahi, CEO of The Green Ark, said, “We are committed to reducing the carbon footprint through recycling waste into resin and building materials such as pavers and tiles made from end-of-cycle plastic waste. By this strategic partnership between Unity Foods and TGA, we can ensure that waste generated is responsibly recycled and adds value in the circular economy.”
