Lanka Mineral Oil Corporation, in collaboration with the ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ initiative, launches tree-planting program

To mark World Environment Day yesterday, the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CEYPETCO), together with the Clean Sri Lanka Secretariat, launched an innovative sustainability initiative in the Muthurajawela area, transforming discarded barrels into standardised waste bins.

The barrels have been carefully sorted to separate combustible materials and plastics and converted into waste bins accordingly.

Under the first phase of the project, CEYPETCO plans to distribute 150 recycled barrels as waste bins. The organisation has also agreed to supply additional bins made from combustible and plastic materials as needed in the future.

Clean Sri Lanka Secretariat Director Isuru Anuradha, along with officials from both the Clean Sri Lanka Secretariat and CEYPETCO, participated in the event.

Meanwhile, Lanka Mineral Oil Corporation Ltd., in collaboration with the ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ program, also launched a tree-planting program in the Muthurajawela area yesterday, in observance of World Environment Day.

The event was attended by senior officials including CEYPETCO Chairman D.J.A.S. Rajakaruna, Managing Director Dr. Mayura Neththikumarage, Acting Deputy General Manager Samantha Gunawardhana, as well as officials from the Clean Sri Lanka Secretariat.
