With a target of collecting and recycling 6,500 tonnes of plastic per annum, the project focuses heavily on community upliftment. By integrating women, youth, and low-income families into the collection and sorting ecosystem, Green Wheels aims to create stable income-generating opportunities while significantly improving the reach and efficiency of Sri Lanka’s recycling infrastructure.
