Nestlé Philippines partners with various organizations to achieve and sustain Plastic Neutrality

Nestlé Philippines has achieved a fresh milestone in tackling plastic waste as it completes its first year of plastic neutrality, the first multinational fast-moving consumer goods company in the country to do so. 


Since August 2020, the company has collected, co-processed, and diverted from the environment over 27,000 metric tons of plastic waste, slightly above the volume of used plastic in the packaging that it has put out in the market over the past year.

Nestlé Philippines partners with various organizations to achieve and sustain Plastic Neutrality. Following its first year of being plastic neutral, it believes that it can do more by working together with its employees, consumers and other stakeholders.

 

The milestone comes as Nestlé Philippines marks its 110th year in the country, determined to intensify its initiatives towards a waste-free future, with a commitment to make its packaging, including plastics, 100% recyclable or reusable by 2025. Additionally, it commits to reduce a third of virgin plastic use within the same time frame. More specifically, Nestlé Philippines will reduce its use of virgin plastics by 1,100 metric tons in 2021 and is continuously looking for more sustainable packaging through its research centers globally.


The Philippines is the third largest source of ocean plastic worldwide. Nestlé continues to accelerate its initiatives to address plastic waste holistically in the country across three focus areas: (1) developing the packaging for the future, through packaging and delivery innovation and plastic reduction; (2) helping to shape a waste-free future through increased collection and recycling; and (3) driving new behaviors and understanding through solid waste management education.


"As a food and beverage manufacturer with a major presence in the country, we are called upon to be at the forefront in confronting urgent issues that our planet faces. Our vision, which we are working hard to realize, is that none of our packaging, including plastics, ends up in landfills, in oceans, seas, and rivers. A few years ago, we identified plastic neutrality as a major step forward for us as a company and it is our most important environmental milestone to date. The way has been full of challenges, requiring significant investments and a learning curve as we acquired experience. But we have demonstrated that it can be done, and it is viable. We are grateful to our partners including Republic Cement, CEMEX Holdings Philippines, and Plastic Credit Exchange for enabling us to become plastic neutral," said Nestlé Philippines Chairman and CEO Kais Marzouki.

 

With its partners, Nestlé Philippines is collecting plastic waste from local government units and communities in different parts of the country. The waste is co-processed in cement kilns, a waste management method by which waste materials are processed at a very high temperature. This breaks down complex materials into simpler compounds and the energy or mineral content of wastes are completely recovered and utilized in the process of producing cement. Emissions from the process are filtered and monitored in compliance with standards of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

 

Looking to the future, Mr. Marzouki said the company is advocating the passage of legislation that will put in place an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme for plastic waste. EPR is a comprehensive policy approach in which a manufacturer's or importer's responsibility for a product is extended to the post-consumption stage of its life cycle.

Nestlé also co-developed solid waste management modules for schools and also created condensed materials for teens and parents which have been endorsed by the National Solid Waste Management Commission

 

To do more together, Nestlé Philippines is encouraging consumers to become a Kasambuhay for the Environment. They can start by visiting Nes.tl/KasambuhayForTheEnvironment where they can access solid waste management modules developed for parents and teens, and learn about the waste cycle, proper segregation, recycling, and more. The website also lists locations where they can drop off their plastic waste for recycling, including Nestlé-sponsored collection points at SM Mall of Asia, SM North Edsa, and SM Fairview, among other sites.

To further its commitment to the planet, Nestlé launched the Isabuhay sa Bahay challenge which aims to encourage its 5,000 strong employees how to live a more sustainable lifestyle for the good of the planet

 

"At Nestlé Philippines, we are deeply committed to attaining our environmental goals, consistent with our vision of a waste-free future. As we have been in the Philippines for 110 years, we want to leave a legacy, anchored on our respect for the future and coming generations, that includes effectively caring for the planet," Mr. Marzouki said.

Shopee Pili Pinoy puts the spotlight on proudly homegrown enterprises and their lovingly crafted products

It’s Buwan ng Wika, and what better way to showcase some Pinoy pride than supporting local businesses? This August, Shopee Pili Pinoy puts the spotlight on proudly homegrown enterprises and their lovingly crafted products.

Jhoanna Paula Tabije and Lemuel Tabije, Joy Marcelo-Ginto, Valentina Patriarca, MJ Sia, and Kyla Cañete’s stories and wares differ, but they all share one thing in common: passion, be it for their family, community, or fashion. Read on to learn more about their entrepreneurial journeys and how that makes these sellers’ products so special:

 

Abubot PH by Jhoanna Paula Tabije and Lemuel Tabije

 

In 2018, Paula lost her job due to cutbacks. To continue providing for their family, Paula and her husband Lemuel began selling on Shopee. Starting with just a 20 sqm room at home and a meager capital, the couple found success, thereafter becoming one of the leading women’s fashion sellers on the platform. 

 

Paula and Lemuel take pride in providing work for their employees despite the pandemic. “‘Yung employees namin galing from all walks of life. We have students, we have teachers, we have professionals. Very thankful kami kasi in some way nakakatulong kami sa kanilapati na rin sa suppliers namin, ‘yung mga local manufacturers in Taytay.”

 

Support Paula and Lemuel’s goal to provide for fellow Filipinos and patronize local manufacturers. Shop for trendy and affordable clothing at Abubot PH to find preppy pieces like this Colette Coordinate or comfy loungewear like these Jogger Pants

 

Joy Marcelo RTW Clothing by Joy Marcelo-Ginto

 

Before finding success on Shopee, Joy was working a below minimum wage job with a child on the way. Once she gave birth, she told herself that life needed to change for the better. With a capital of just ₱1,500, Joy joined Shopee to sell ready-to-wear clothing and soon found success for her humble shop. 

 

As a fashion lover, Joy recognizes the industry’s problem with inclusive sizing. “Ang hirap hanapin ng malaking sizes. Ang sizing dito sa Pilipinas talagang pang-slim.” This is why she wants to expand her line with even more sizes to cater to consumers. 

 

Find a wide range of styles and clothing at accessible price points for all body types at Joy Marcelo RTW Clothing. Their Short Sleeve Top and Backless Halter Top are both perfect for plus-sized ladies. 


Via Christi by Valentina Patriarca

 

Like many Filipinos, civil engineer Valentina had to find alternative sources of income when the pandemic struck. Since she is based in Rizal, an area known for textile manufacturing, Valentina decided to sell face masks. As her business began to grow, Valentina saw an opportunity to provide jobs for out-of-work seamstresses in her neighborhood. What started out as a venture for herself evolved into a source of livelihood for the entire community. 

 

Valentina believes that businesses should not be solely driven by personal gains, but also by community empowerment. “Kailangan from the heart. Kailangan your intention is pure, na gusto mong makatulong. Ang gustong-gusto ko lang talaga magkatrabaho yung mga kababayan ko, kasi dito ako lumaki.”


Help out Valentina’s community by stocking up on loungewear basics such as Halter Tops, Dolphin Shorts, and more from Via Christi.


Tazanna by MJ Sia 


As a shoe enthusiast, MJ believes that finding affordable and good-quality shoes shouldn’t have to be hard. This inspired the creation of Tazanna, her very own shoe store. It wasn’t easy in the beginningshe’d travel for hours to look for suppliers and manually deliver packages to couriers, all to sell just a couple of pairs. Now, however, her store is a well-known Shopee favorite for classy and durable everyday footwear.

 

As her brand’s name, which means princess, denotes, MJ’s goal was to make customers feel like royalty whenever they wore her products. “With the name Tazanna, I wanted a brand name that would link to something medyo girly. Our mission was really to provide the market with beautiful shoes na affordable pero okay pa rin yung quality.”

 

Get locally made chic and classy footwear that won’t break your budget at Tazanna. Show off your gams with Isla in Nude, or go for Dean Braided Flats if you want to forgo the heels.  

 

Tala by Kyla by Kyla Cañete

 

As a self-proclaimed maarte girl, Kyla has always loved jewelry. Her jewelry store Tala by Kyla started as a passion project during her summer break. When classes started, Kyla was doing everything herself: taking and packing orders, sending invoices, collecting payments, and shipping. Her Shopee store has grown exponentially since then, amassing a following of more than a million people in just one year.

 

Kyla wants her customers to feel like a star with her products. “Sabi ko, gusto ko when they wear my jewelry, feelingnila na nagshi-shine sila,” she shares. She offers a wide range of gorgeous pendants and rings to suit her customers’ varying tastes.

Enfagrow A+ Four created a collaborative space as they launched their new and improved formulation, the Enfagrow A+ Four NuraPro

How is your day with your kids? How are we all coping up in these difficult times? I for one make sure that I should be giving them nutritious food everyday and a milk formula that has all the vitamins and minerals to support their physical, mental and emotional growth. Tucking them into bed while reading their favorite books provide some bonding time . How about you? 


Parenting at any stage has never been easy and is especially challenging in these times, as the pandemic upended family life across the globe. Moms and dads have to ensure that their children continue their learning and development, despite being isolated from their friends and peers, while keeping them protected from any illnesses.  

 

Supporting parents as they set out to raise healthy, smart kids with a heart,  formula milk brand Enfagrow A+ Four created a collaborative space as they launched their new and improved formulation, the Enfagrow A+ Four NuraPro.

Aiming to address the challenges of parents when it comes to providing their kids with proper nourishment, Enfagrow A+ Four staged the virtual event “Power Up the IQ and EQ Advantage”. This gathered celebrity parents, industry experts, media personalities and trade partners for an afternoon of fun games and knowledge-sharing activities.

 Giving the guests the most personal experience, Enfagrow A+ set up the ‘NuraPro Hub’ — an online space where participants made friendly exchanges via a networking lounge, photo booth and mosaic wall, and a virtual playground. 

 

The “Power Up the IQ and EQ Advantage” event also featured a visual storytelling activity that shed light on the ways parents can easily connect with kids. Through this, they were equipped with knowledge on how to understand their children better and engage with them through fun and mentally stimulating ways.

 

Toward the end of the event, guests wrote pledges of commitment in helping raise healthy, smart kids with a heart. Together with their nurturing, Enfagrow A+ Four NuraPro will be their ally as they champion their child’s holistic development to shape a better and kinder world.

 

“Every child is born with a unique potential for greatness. We’re driven by our commitment to discover new ways to design and develop high-quality products that can help nourish a child's holistic development, so they can get a headstart in life,” said Aleli Arcilla, president and general manager of Reckitt Philippines. 

 

“Our children need to have the best nutrition that will help power up their IQ and EQ and have the ability to cope with their ever-changing environment, especially in these challenging times,” said Matthew Davis, marketing director of Reckitt Philippines. 

 

Enfagrow A+ Four’s new and improved variant is scientifically-formulated to include vitamins and minerals to support a child’s mental, physical, and emotional development. It is the first and only formula milk that contains the powerful combination of MFGM Pro and superior level of DHA to help power up a child’s IQ and EG development and HMO to help strengthen immunity.

 

With all these breakthrough ingredients plus proper nutrition and stimulation, the new formulation in the Enfagrow A+ Four NuraPro can help establish a strong foundation for healthy, smart kids with a heart—supporting their cognitive intelligence, emotional health, and strong immunity.
