TURNING TRASH INTO TREES

Food & Trees for Africa and Oricol Environmental Services (Oricol) celebrate a ten year partnership dedicated to environmental sustainability and community development. This collaboration has seen significant strides in promoting green initiatives and enhancing food security across South Africa.

Oricol, a leader in waste management and environmental solutions, has been a steadfast supporter of Food & Trees for Africa’s mission to plant trees and develop food gardens for a greener and more sustainable future. Through its ongoing funding and active participation, Oricol has exemplified its commitment to environmental stewardship and corporate social responsibility.

Oricol's dedication to sustainability is evident in its innovative waste management solutions, which prioritise recycling, resource recovery, and environmental conservation. In keeping with circular economy principles, waste diverted from landfills is re-used in separate manufacturing processes, thereby contributing to the preservation of natural resources and the reduction of carbon emissions.

Together the two companies have planted thousands of trees in urban and rural areas, contributing to carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation and climate resilience. These tree planting initiatives not only enhance the natural landscape but also provide shade, improve air quality and create green spaces for recreation and relaxation.
