Being a wastepreneur is not an easy job but it is a rewarding one. It requires people who are passionate about recycling and who are willing to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty.

At PETCO, they do all they can to strengthen the recycling value chain. When they provide sponsorships, be it of training or equipment, candidates undergo a stringent vetting process to ensure that deserving, hardworking individuals get the tools they need to take their business further.

Sometimes it’s something as simple as a roll of recycled plastic bags or as large as a trailer or bailing machine to aid collection and storage of recyclable materials. And sometimes it is transferring the knowledge and experience that they’ve acquired over the past (nearly) two decades to help companies grow their businesses and have a positive environmental impact.
