Businesses commit to more sustainable paths forward post-pandemic

With the continuing battle against plastic pollution in the country, Philippine business leaders highlight their initiatives and show support for the Extended Producer Responsibility.  

Extended Producer Responsibility or EPR is an environmental policy approach introduced in the 1990s for accelerating the transition to sustainable waste management and a circular economy and more and more businesses worldwide are on board. 

EPR relies on two factors - improvement of product design and recyclability and improvement of waste management systems - and businesses here in the Philippines have stepped up to the challenge, taking sustainability seriously, by working on both upstream and downstream measures to address the plastic crisis. 

Coca-Cola Philippines is continuously moving forward with its “World Without Waste” campaign, a global effort of the Coca-Cola Company that aims to successfully recycle used bottles to new ones. In the Philippines, Coca-Cola’s one-billion-peso recycling facility is already nearing completion with a target to be open this year.

End the Year Bright with the New Olay BodyScience Lotion

The past two years have affected lives in many unimaginable ways. As another year of living the pandemic ends, it is important to look back on the things you might have missed out on, especially with self-care. Have you checked your skin lately? It might be showing signs whether you’re ready for the New Year, or if the pandemic has taken a toll on you.

You have probably sanitized your skin — excessively, at some point, to protect yourself and your loved ones from the threats of germs and bacteria. Too much sanitizing can strip your skin of its natural oils and can lead to dryness and dullness. With Olay you can end the year bright and face the new year with a glow.

After a successful body wash launch in 2020, Olay Bodyscience comes back with the release of its much-anticipated lotion with the advanced skin technology of Olay — and it’s finally here in the Philippines.
