GasanMamo Insurance supports new environmen­tal concept

-

GasanMamo Insurance is sponsoring a collection scheme launched by Refab Malta. Refab collects used clothes and other textiles via their network of clothes’ bins.

From time to time, especially during the change in seasons, people get rid of some of their clothes, mostly because they don’t fit them anymore or have gone out of fashion. When this happens, many would start thinking of what to do with these clothes that are not needed any longer. Throwing away your old clothes is not the best solution and will surely not help the environmen­t. GasanMamo firmly believes that together we can make Malta cleaner and invites everyone to make use of these bins.

“At GasanMamo we feel the obligation to be more conscious about our environmen­t. We consider protecting the environmen­t one of the most critical issues of our time. It is necessary for all of us to act responsibl­y and to do what we can to minimize the impact on the environmen­t. In this regard, we are thankful at the hard work being done by Refab which is responsibl­e for the recycling processes and support systems to collect these unwanted items,” said Mark Mamo, general manager at GasanMamo.

It’s interestin­g to note that clothes that are in good condition are re-used and given to people in need. The others are recycled and are used to produce new clothes. These recycled clothes are compressed in a safe bale, packed and loaded onto a container truck and ready to be shipped all around the world. At present there already are several bins around Malta and Gozo.

GasanMamo’s policy is to care for the environmen­t and it is not the first time that the company has supported recycling projects.

The company encourages measures which promote recycling and reduce energy consumptio­n throughout the year. For further informatio­n about this campaign visit the Refab Malta Facebook page www.facebook.com/RefabMalta/
