In the Philippines and around the world, plastic waste pollution continues to be a pressing issue.
At the same time, Coca-Cola’s programs under its World Without Waste initiative empower communities in the Philippines through collaborations that enable positive change and support a debris-free environment. In 2019, the company transitioned from its iconic green Sprite packaging to clear PET to make the bottles easier to recycle. At the same time, the company introduced 100% recycled plastic for its Sprite bottles in the Philippines.In 2020, Coca-Cola Philippines also started to include a bold “Recycle Me” message on packaging labels across all its brands—inviting people to help collect and recycle their bottles after they enjoyed the drink.
”Through Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines, the company has partnered with PeacePond Famers Association for the Blastik Project operating in Negros Occidental. The project provides training to communities on the importance of recycling and upcycling and aims to create positive change and strengthen solid waste management practices through workshops and technological support needed for the collection and upcycling systems.
Coca-Cola also aims to empower MSMEs as it pursues its vision. In partnership with Basic Environmental Systems and Technologies and the Philippine Association of Stores and Carinderia Owners, the company formally started last July collection efforts under Tindahan Extra Mile Balik PET Bottle program.
