The opportunity

Trash2Treasure is an ambitious regional initiative led by SMCL Investments Trinidad Limited, with its operations to be managed by the newly formed New Leaf Recycling Company Limited. The project addresses a significant environmental issue in the Caribbean—plastic pollution, particularly from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastics—by proposing the region’s first turn-key recycling facility dedicated to post-consumer PET plastics.
