Caymanas Park is now recycling

CAYMANAS PARK AND RECYCLING PARTNERS OF JAMAICA JOIN FORCES TO CLEAN UP PORTMORE

Portmore, Jamaica – Supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainment Limited (SVREL) and Recycling Partners of Jamaica (RPJ) have forged a strategic partnership towards fostering sustainable environmental practices at Caymanas Park and its environs. The agreement will see an official RPJ Drop Off location being set up at the iconic park in Gregory Park, St. Catherine, offering patrons and residents of the local community a convenient option to drop off their plastic bottles and preventing them from entering the environment.

Aswanda Stoddart, AVP Administration at SVREL was pleased with this most recent initiative to implement more eco-friendly practices at Caymanas Park. “As a key business in the area, we understand our role in contributing to the economic and environmental vitality of the community. We have been proactive in implementing sustainable development processes and this partnership with RPJ is our most recent initiative,” she said. “This new drop off location will give not only the hundreds of punters who visit the Park weekly an opportunity to practice responsible waste management but we’re also opening it up to the wider Gregory Park community with a view to influence behaviour and improve the general environmental practices in Jamaica.”

Last year, as part of its corporate social responsibility efforts, SVREL invested heavily into a solar energy project which saw over 3000 solar panels installed at a cost of US$4 million. The project is slated to generate 1.6MW across three phases, which will significantly reduce the Company’s carbon footprint.

Candice Ming, Marketing and Public Relartions Manager for Recycling Partners of Jamaica says the company is always thrilled when we are able to partner with influential entities, as it foreshadows a Jamaica where the corporate community has an active role in the protection and sustainability of the country’s environment. Caymanas Park has long been a stalwart in Jamaica’s sporting culture and to implement recycling at their facilities, with access to the wider Gregory Park area is the kind of growth Jamaica needs moving into 2024, as RPJ looks to collect more plastics and increase its production capacity. This partnership comes with an asset value of over one million Jamaican dollars. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with SVREL”.  

Both organizations look forward to the positive outcomes that this collaboration will yield, not only for their respective entities but also for the community and the environment at large. The partnership between Caymanas Park and Recycling Partners of Jamaica represents a unified effort towards building a sustainable future while demonstrating the power of collaboration in achieving meaningful change.
