Mpact Recycling renews its support of Mrs South Africa

Mpact Recycling renews its support of Mrs South Africa

Date: 2016-09-16
The company announced this week that it has renewed its partnership with the glamourous Mrs South Africa pageant for the second consecutive year.

Mpact Recycling managing director, John Hunt says, "Our partnership with Mrs South Africa delivered great value in 2015 as the 25 finalists contributed to educating school children on the benefits of recycling and helped us to identify and include new communities and schools in our schools' recycling project. This year, our campaign will include a socio-economic development element where the Top 25 contestants will meet community leaders to identify needs in their areas, which Mpact will meet provided that the area's recycling targets are met. The campaign objectives fit neatly with Mpact's own drive to create awareness in schools and communities about recycling."

As an organisation, Mrs South Africa has changed the perception of what married women can and should be doing for their communities. Beauty with a purpose and making a difference is a key part of the beauty pageant.

Joanie Johnson, managing director of Mrs South Africa adds, "As part of the competition, our finalists are encouraged to help with community upliftment and development initiatives throughout South Africa. Raising funds and charity work is an important part of the contestants' journey.

"Through the partnership with Mpact Recycling our finalists are encouraged to focus on helping their communities establish themselves in recycling, stimulating job creation around recycling, and educating their communities, schools and the youth on the importance of looking after the environment, whilst also enabling schools and communities to raise much needed funds."

"As one of the 25 finalists in the Mrs South Africa 2016 pageant, I can't wait to take up the challenge to green the minds of the Durban community and the youth ahead of Clean up Week which runs from 12-17 September with Recycling Day being on Friday, 16 September," concludesLevinia Lea.
