Fatshimetrie, an innovative company working in the production of cosmetic products in the Democratic Republic of Congo, stands out for its commitment to recycling plastic waste. The company has set itself an ambitious goal: to increase its recycling capacity from 1,000 to 3,000 tons per month, thanks to the support of the government of Kinshasa.
This initiative, welcomed by local authorities, demonstrates the company’s desire to actively contribute to the preservation of the environment and the sanitation of the city of Kinshasa. By gradually abandoning the landfilling of plastic waste in favor of transformation, Fatshimetrie is positioning itself as a true pioneer in the recycling sector in the DRC.
The construction of new recycling lines will allow the company to process an additional 2,000 tons of plastic waste per month, increasing its total capacity to 3,000 tons per month. This visionary approach is part of a sustainable development and social responsibility logic, by offering a concrete solution to the growing problem of plastic waste.
The commitment of the Governor of Kinshasa alongside Fatshimetrie underlines the strategic importance of this collaboration for the future of the region. By visiting the plastic waste recycling plant, the local authorities demonstrate their support for this innovative initiative and their commitment to protecting the environment.
In partnership with the Angel group, Fatshimetrie is exploring new avenues to organize the sorting of plastic waste at the household level and implement effective treatment solutions. This holistic approach aims to raise awareness among the population about the importance of recycling and to encourage responsible waste management.
This exemplary approach by Fatshimetrie demonstrates that innovation and commitment to the environment can go hand in hand with economic development. By adopting a circular and sustainable approach, the company is actively contributing to building a cleaner and more responsible future for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
