MTS Bank has installed an environmentally friendly fandomate in its head office

2023: Ecoplatform Fandomate Installation

MTS Bank"" On May 4, 2023, announced the installation of a fandomate for recycling plastic bottles and aluminum cans at the head office on Technopark. The first fandomate Russian manufacturer Ecoplatform is installed as part of the Green Marathon, which was organized at the bank end of April 2023 for employees.

Green Marathon - a number of corporate initiatives of MTS Bank aimed at preserving the environment and taking care of the environment. Now the employees of the head office have the opportunity to permanently hand over plastic bottles with a volume of up to two liters and aluminum cans with a capacity of up to 0.5 liters to fandomate.

How does it work:

• empty plastic bottles and aluminum cans are placed one after another in the receiving window of the fandomate;
• fandomat recognizes the type of material and the number of containers handed over, and the user receives a reward in the form of a discount, bonuses for a special bonus account tied to a personal mobile phone number;
• the accepted container is pressed and stored in the fandomate until it is filled, and then sent to the plant, where it is sorted, cleaned and processed;
• recycled materials are used for the production of new goods: bottles, clothes and shoes, furniture, spare parts, etc.

In addition, employees collected and donated unnecessary clothes to charity in favor of BF Second Wind. The fund will transfer things in good condition to charity for large and low-income families, pensioners and people with disabilities, send things in poor condition for recycling, and brand things will be sold in a charity store.

By implementing environmental and social projects as part of our own sustainable development strategy, we strive to involve employees in responsible consumption. Spring is a great time not only for new plans and achievements, but also for new habits. It is even better if these habits are green and responsible, - commented Anastasia Grigorieva, Head of Programs for Sustainable Development and ESG of MTS Bank. − According to Ecoplatform, 13 million tons of plastic waste enter the world ocean every year, which leads to a violation of the ecological balance on the planet, while 90% of the plastic produced is not recycled.
