June 23, 2023 - Employees at the company’s El Abra operation in Chile have begun doing a little more to help the environment – one lunchbreak at a time.

The site recently embarked on an effort to replace the 1,650 trays in its two cafeterias with trays produced from recycled plastic water bottles used at the site. Already, new trays are in service at one cafeteria with the remaining trays expected by the end of the year. The older, worn-out trays also will be sent for recycling into pellets to make new trays for use by El Abra or elsewhere.
