Collecting bottle caps to fund cancer care

30 Jan 2025

In Mexico, our colleagues have combined social impact and environmental responsibility by joining an innovative initiative through which bottle caps are collected to support young people with cancer.

Banco de Tapitas is a non-profit organisation which collects and recycles bottle caps to raise money for medical treatment, medication and transport for cancer patients under the age of 21. Given the initiative’s strong alignment with our goals for making a positive impact on our local communities and the environment, our Human Resources team reached out to establish a partnership.

Despite only joining the initiative in August, the teams across all 18 of our facilities in Mexico made a significant effort to collect 206kg of bottle caps by the end of
November 2024. Following the first delivery of bottle caps, the collection was re-opened and continues as one of our ongoing initiatives.
