ne of the environmental initiatives of Sipar, in Argentina, is the Home Plastic Waste Management Program, started in December 2005. The project involves the donation of PET bottle collecting containers for a neighborhood of Perez, in the province of Santa Fé, where the unit is based.

The initiative will help about 500 people. The containers will be sited at different points in the neighborhood, including schools, public squares and churches. The community will convert the money collected from the sale of the bottles into social benefits, such as the purchase of books for the local library.

The project is part of the Neighborhood Improvement Program developed by the federal government. The initiative includes the paving of streets, building of low-income housing and creation of public squares, which will also be supported by Sipar.
