Datu Puti commits to achieving a net-zero plastic footprint by 2021

NutriAsia, the country’s leading producer and distributor of sauces and condiments including Datu Puti, UFC, Golden Fiesta, and Locally, is joining Plastic Credit Exchange (PCEx) to attain plastic neutral certification for its Datu Puti brand. 

 

A step toward the company’s climate change goals, NutriAsia has pledged to make the entire Datu Puti product portfolio plastic neutral, which entails offsetting 100% of its plastic footprint over the last year and for the future. This means calculating the plastic usage in Datu Puti’s bottles, bottle caps, cap seals, and stand-up pouches, then through PCEx, diverting the equivalent amount of post-consumer plastic from nature. Datu Puti commits to achieving a net-zero plastic footprint by 2021.

 

Since 2014, NutriAsia has been taking part in the movement towards a zero-waste community through projects like Datu Puti’s Jumbohalang Tambalan, BYOB (Bring Your Own Bote)  DENR-EMB’s Refill Revolution, as well as through the launch of Locally, a socially responsible brand for the “local good”. A stepping stone to sustainability, these projects raised awareness on responsible plastic use.

 

Through their engagement with PCEx, NutriAsia activates a key piece of their sustainability plan. Angie Flaminiano, President at NutriAsia, said, “With our brands being an integral part of every Filipino household, NutriAsia takes its role in nation-building with much fervor.   We strive to live by our commitment to our consumers of making their lives Masarap (good), Masaya (happy). This partnership with Plastic Credit Exchange is part of fulfilling that promise. NutriAsia through plastic neutrality is intensifying its drive for sustainability.  We are one with the nation in ensuring quality lives for our countrymen by protecting our environment, now and in the future.”

 

“We welcome NutriAsia to our global movement of changemakers,” said Nanette Medved-Po, Founder and Chairwoman at PCEx. “By choosing to undergo the boldest action to help put an end to plastic waste, NutriAsia underscores its ongoing commitment to minimizing the environmental impact of their brands like Datu Puti.”

 

Feel good this Mother’s Day with this tribute to moms and frontliners

This Mother’s Day may feel a little tougher than usual because of the challenging times we live in, but that doesn’t mean it has to be cancelled this year. 

NutriAsia, the leading producer and distributor of sauces and condiments in the Philippines — home of well-loved brands Datu Puti, Silver Swan, UFC, Mang Tomas, and Papa, decided to pay tribute to the wonderful moms who have always been there for us through a funny but heartwarming Mother’s Day video of a son asking his mom for some help in cooking.

In the video, a son calls his mom up because he needs her help in cooking some ulam with some limited ingredients. The mom adorably does her best to teach her son even though using new technology can be challenging for her.

Showing that a mother knows exactly what to do with what she has, the mom shows her son that even with simple ingredients like a can of luncheon meat, a couple of carrots, and some potatoes in the fridge he can cook a Masarap at Masayang menudo, especially with the help of a pouch of UFC Ready Recipes Menudo Sauce she left in her son’s apartment.

UFC Ready Recipes Sauces are a range of ready to use cooking sauces, made from ingredients such as real tomatoes, selected spices and meat flavors. UFC Ready Recipe Sauces are convenient and easy to use. It is pre-mixed and pre-seasoned, and all you have to do is to pour the sauce and let it simmer. It’s available in different variants like Afritada, Menudo, Caldereta and Mechado.

At the end, it’s revealed that she raised a great, caring kid who looks out for others, as it turns out that he was cooking some food to give away to our brave frontliners! 

The video is definitely inspiring and perfect for Mother’s Day, as it shows us that our moms do know best and we can always turn to her for help whenever we need it—and, of course, that the best children are raised by the best mothers.

You too can show your mom some love on Mother’s Day! Easily make a Masarap at Masayang meal for her at home this Mother’s Day!
