Communities in Palawan collected more than 70,000 used bottles in just six months under the BOTEful Philippines program of Ginebra San Miguel Inc., according to Philstar Biz . This is the largest collection recorded under the initiative since it began in 2017.
The BOTEful Philippines program is a nationwide bottle recycling initiative aimed at promoting environmental sustainability. GSMI collects used bottles from participating communities and recycles them into new products.
The record-setting collection in Palawan highlights the growing participation and success of the program in reducing waste. It also demonstrates the potential for community-driven recycling efforts in the country.
