- In 2019, Cotton made in Africa (CmiA) and the local cotton company SAN-JFS developed a recycling project in Mozambique. This project motivates farmers to collect empty pesticide containers and return them to a collection station for further recycling. These so called “eco-collection points” are operated by women from local farming communities. The farmers as well as the women operating the eco-collection points receive a bonus payment for returned containers from the local cotton company. Within two years over 160,000 empty pesticide containers were collected and sent for recycling benefitting around 40,000 farmers from surrounding communities.
