Also present were Catherine Reuben, Director of Corporate Affairs at Coca-Cola FEMSA; César Rivas Valdivia, Director of Entrepreneurship and Environmental Action at Fundación Azteca; Daniel Saenz, Vice President of Coca-Cola Mexico; César Espinosa, Sustainability Manager of Coca-Cola Mexico and José Manuel Orantes Jasso, Manager of Corporate and Government Affairs of Coca-Cola FEMSA in Chiapas.

For the second consecutive year, the Mexican Coca-Cola Industry carries out this work as part of the "Clean Mexico by #UnMundoSinResiduos" initiative, in different cities and municipalities of the country, to sensitize the population about the importance of recycling and continue with efforts to conserve the environment. On this occasion, it was carried out in the Berriozábal dam, which is a relevant water source of this Chiapas municipality.

In 2022, this was the fifth day of cleaning that is carried out with the aim of cleaning important areas for the community and recovering the largest amount of organic and inorganic waste. In two years, the campaign #UnMundoSinResiduos, has recovered more than 40 tons of PET that will be recycled.

"We are very happy for the response and participation of the people of Chiapas in Berriozábal, it was one of the busiest days in the whole country, and once again the people of Chiapas showed that together we can achieve #UnMundoSinResiduos," said José Manuel Orantes Jasso, Manager of Corporate and Government Affairs of Coca-Cola FEMSA in Chiapas.

To continue with the efforts to care for and conserve the environment, the Mexican Coca-Cola Industry will hold a new cleaning day, now, in the State of Mexico, in order to unite communities and people throughout the country to work together for #UnMundoSinResiduos, because through small actions, great results are achieved.
