The Coca-Cola Foundation is supporting the Mountain Clean–Up Campaign 2023 led by the Nepali Army for its 4th edition with the theme ‘An endeavour to save the Himalayas’. 

This campaign aims to protect and preserve the sanctity of the Himalayas by retrieving waste left behind by trekkers and accumulated on the mountains over the years, reads the press release issued by the organisation. 

The expedition team consisting of 97 people will be cleaning 4 mountains of Nepal that are above 8,000 metres which include Mt Everest, Mt Lhotse, Mt. Annapurna, and Mt Baruntse. 

It is estimated that over 35 tons of waste will be collected and handed over to recycling partners for waste management. (PR)
