The result of the Simply Recycle Challenge will
also enable Herbalife Nutrition to plant 1,421 trees through its
partnership with the non-profit organization, One Tree Planted. On
average, a
tree can absorb about 10kg of carbon dioxide per year for the first 20 years,
therefore, these trees could sequester the equivalent of approximately 14
tonnes of carbon dioxide from the planet every year, equivalent to two
round-the-world trips in terms of carbon footprint generated by a
car running on petroleum.
“We are
delighted with the results of the Challenge and the positive response from our
members in support of this green initiative,” said Stephen Conchie, Regional
President of Asia Pacific and China for Herbalife Nutrition. “Environmental
stewardship is a key component of our global responsibility strategy. From
implementing the Simply Recycle Challenge to incentivize recycling of our
product packaging, to reducing use of plastic throughout our distribution
network, we are taking meaningful steps to do what’s needed to promote a
sustainable future for people and the planet.”
Launched on World Environment Day 2022 (June 5) as part of the company’s Go Green initiative in Asia Pacific, the Simply Recycle Challenge encouraged Herbalife Nutrition independent members and Nutrition Club owners across the region to recycle their used Herbalife Nutrition product canisters.
Apart from the Simply Recycle Challenge, some Herbalife Nutrition markets in the Asia Pacific region have implemented additional recycling programs in partnership with local organizations; for instance:
● In Vietnam, Herbalife Nutrition has collaborated with the Ho Chi
Minh City Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment (HANE) to
convert used product canisters into plastic grains for reuse in manufacturing;
● In the Philippines, the company’s partnership with Green Antz
enables the transforming of discarded product packaging into green building
materials;
●
In Malaysia, the company has engaged
Recycle for Life (RFL) to collect used product canisters and bottles from its
Sales and Distribution Center in Kuala Lumpur on a regular basis. 100% of the
cash rewards resulted from this program will be donated to Herbalife Nutrition
Foundation to improve the lives of children and communities in the country; and
● In Thailand, the company donates used product canisters to Chak
Daeng Temple in the Samut Prakan Province for reprocessing into useful
materials.
On a global level, Herbalife Nutrition continues with ongoing initiatives in eliminating negative environmental impacts, such as reducing the use of plastic by increasing the integration of recycled materials like PCR (post-consumer resin) in its Formula 1 canisters, while decreasing the overall amount of packaging for its nutrition products.
