At Anglo American, we are committed to creating a healthy, sustainable environment for future generations by getting our waste to work rather than sending it to landfill.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the ways we are working to achieve this shared goal is by implementing a community reverse vending machine (RVM) project, administered by our Platinum business unit. As part of phase one of the project, May 2023 will see the installation of RVMs at Platinum\u2019s head office at 144 Oxford Street, Rosebank, and at our neighbouring Global Shared Services (GSS) head office. This project is at the heart of the circular economy, which is about minimising waste in all its forms and making the most of what we have, including natural resources. It advocates re-using and recycling and ultimately turns waste into a resource. The circular economy is a key area in the healthy environment pillar of our sustainable mining plan.<\/p>\n

Vision
<\/b>Our aim is to implement this project across Platinum\u2019s operations\u2019 zones of in\u001d uence to help create thriving communities by building local capacity, creating sustainable livelihoods, decreasing our and our host communities\u2019 environmental impact, and increasing people\u2019s financial literacy.<\/p>\n

Collaboration is key
<\/b>We have partnered with Imagined Earth, a green technology and recycling infrastructure provider, and will be using their cutting edge reverse vending machines. The community RVM project is becoming a reality thanks to Circulab, an Anglo American incubator programme that encourages employees to innovate to achieve ways of working that contribute to a circular, rather than a linear economy. Circulab is funding the community RVM project as a result of the business case presented to them in 2022.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

How does it work?<\/strong><\/p>

  1. Download the Imagined Earth app, which is available on the Apple, Android and Huawei stores, and sign up.<\/li>
  2. Visit one of the RVM locations and insert your recyclable waste. (Plastic, metal, aluminium, glass, tetrapaks.) You can self-scan any material to check whether the RVM will accept it by scanning the barcode. Only barcoded items will be accepted.<\/li>
  3. Enter your cellphone number foridenti\u001f cation.<\/li>
  4. The rebate for the waste you inserted will be paid into your digital wallet on the Imagined Earth app. You can also qualify for rewards and circular or redeemable coupons.<\/li><\/ol>
