Wawa Zura Speaker Recycling

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA (July 13, 2010) With the end of the World Cup in South Africa, where are the millions of Vavazola speakers going now? In the view of Barry Turner of the Plastics 2020 Challenge, these horns, which had made noise on the field, may be regenerated into plastic park benches and buckets.

Turner said: “A lot of people want to be able to get rid of the annoying Viva Zula speakers. I can tell them that this wish is entirely feasible because the speakers are completely renewable and do not have to be landfilled. ."

"According to statistics of manufacturers, 800,000 Vavazulas were sold in South Africa alone and 1.5 million in Europe."

This kind of high density polyethylene horn is very convenient to regenerate. According to the South African Association of Plastics Processors, thanks to South Africa's mature and complete renewable infrastructure, the local recycling industry is ready to meet this challenge.

Mike Bullock, a former executive of the association and also a current consultant, said: "Vavazul has become a symbol of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. A considerable number of Waawallahs will be preserved as souvenirs."

“The discarded Wawazula will find a home in a well-managed private waste disposal system in South Africa, and let them be recycled at an early stage because the valuable Material is sent to landfill. The field is really wasteful."
