A Pulse Asia survey has shown that 83 percent of Filipinos prefer to patronize products and services of brands that have environment-friendly operations and products.
Reports showed that Philippines is the third largest contributor to plastic waste in the world, generating an estimated 2.7 million tons of plastic waste per year. “With many of our policies in the past, it is indeed implementation that will spell the success or failure of the waste-to-energy and of the EPR program. For our part on the DENR, we hope to make the EPR procedures as straightforward as possible, less paperwork hopefully, and focus first on the registration of all plastic producers…I am hopeful of the EPR program having heard of the willingness of the private sector to be part of the program,” David said.
“As a problem that drastically affects the future of all, everyone, including the public must act jointly…Discipline, especially on the part of consumers, in proper waste disposal, or simply by not littering will already drastically reduce the tonnage of garbage in our waterways,” he added. Environment Assistant Secretary and DENR-Environmental Management Bureau Director Gilbert Gonzales said the complex waste management problem in the Philippines is a result of a linear economic model, which follows a “take-make-dispose” process for products.
Climate Reality Project Philippine Branch Manager Nazrin Castro said it is in the best interest of the Philippines to shift to a circular economy.
