Moana Taka Partnership
Under Moana Taka Partnership (MTP), Swire Shipping enables private sector companies and governments, to move recyclable waste out of the Pacific Islands where it is accumulating, to countries with competent and sustainable recycling plants ensuring that waste products from oil to plastics, are properly recycled and processed.
Swire Shipping provides both the containers and ocean freight carriage on a pro bono basis, as well as dedicated resources to support programme coordination and work on scaling up the programme across the Pacific region.

Recycling on the Go
MTP has revealed that one of the major challenges faced by the waste management sector is the mindset of people. There is a need to address this behavioural change. Together with Waste Recyclers (Fiji) Limited, Pacific Recycling Foundation and Jai Narayan College in Suva, the “Recycling on the Go” or ROG Ambassador Project was developed.
A year-long pilot project was implemented and successful, and therefore will be scaled up to two more schools in 2023, an all-girls secondary school and one primary school in a rural area.
The ROG will act as a blueprint to lobby for national implementation of such programmes by the Ministry of Education in years to come, to boost in-country recycling efforts.
