The Plastic Waste Collection (PWC) Program

is a partnership with NGO Plastic Credit
Exchange and supported by Price water
house Coopers. The program aims to reduce
plastic waste in landfills and oceans through
proper plastic segregation and disposal. The

of plastic material.

for proper disposal by accredited hazardous
waste collection partners.

Acceptable electronic waste includes old or broken mobile phones, mobile phone
chargers, power cords, commercial batteries, earphones/earbuds, calculators,
printer ink and toner cartridges, small gadgets, and computer wiring, among
others. E-waste collection will be available in all SM malls nationwide beginning
Feb. 19, 2021. Customers can bring their e-waste every day during mall hours.

6. May balik sa Plastik Program

“May Balik sa Plastik!”, the first city-specific residual waste collection program by
Nestle Philippines Inc., spearheads one of the many programs by the City
Government focusing on solid waste management. This program aims to decrease
the amount of waste laminates in the Valenzuela landfill/transfer stations by
sorting and collecting waste laminates for co-processing, recycling, or upcycling.
The project also embarks on a school-based and barangay-based collection program,
complemented by activities that will create awareness and behavior change,
information, education and communication on waste management. The project will
also run incentive schemes for public schools and city street sweepers. Apart from
this, the key take to this successful waste management campaign is not just
through the mass collection of plastic waste, but through programs that can change
the culture and mindset of repurposing materials for the benefit of communities.
