Turning the Tide on Plastic:

Philippines Joins Regional Push for Reuse Revolution

Philippine Reuse Consortium Launched Amid Global Push to Combat Plastic Pollution

Quezon City, 27 January 2025 – In celebration of International Zero Waste Month, the Philippine Reuse Consortium, the Philippine Chapter of the Asia Reuse Consortium, was officially launched this month. This marks a significant step forward in the fight against single-use plastics (SUPs) through innovative reuse solutions. The Consortium unites representatives from civil society organizations (CSOs), government agencies, and businesses in a shared mission to develop sustainable, community-driven solutions to plastic pollution.

The launch culminates the three-day workshop and stakeholder consultations on mainstreaming reuse and refill solutions in the country. The event which was organized by Greenpeace Philippines and the Mother Earth Foundation, with the support of Plasticdiet Indonesia, GAIA Asia Pacific, and the Break Free From Plastic movement, highlights scalable local initiatives, including zero waste sari-sari stores (small-scale convenience stores) carinderias (neighborhood eateries), and local reuse-and-refill stores such as Back-to-Basics and Sabon Express. These case studies offer valuable insights into adapting reuse systems to the Philippine context.

The consortium's launch paves the way for developing a Philippine reuse roadmap, inspired by other examples in the country such as those initiated by Back-to-Basics and Sabon Express. Such a roadmap could chart a path on transitioning away from SUPs and towards scaling reuse and refill models designed to extend product life cycles, significantly reducing the environmental and social harms caused by SUPs. Research shows that reuse systems have the potential to cut plastic pollution by 30% and lower greenhouse gas emissions from packaging production by up to 80% by 2040.

As part of its efforts, the Consortium emphasizes collaboration among policymakers, businesses, and communities to institutionalize reuse systems and drive lasting environmental and economic benefits. By fostering partnerships and advancing reuse innovations, the PRC and the Asia Reuse Consortium are paving the way for a sustainable transformation in the Asia Pacific region.

The Consortium unveiled a five-year roadmap to mainstream and prioritize reuse, anchored on 10 key action points:

Advocating for progressive laws and policies. Prioritize lobbying efforts to establish and strengthen laws that support reuse systems with clear and measurable targets.

Strategic communications and public engagement. Amplify messages through media partnerships and public campaigns by disseminating PSAs and Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials.

Championing Role Models to Develop Champions. Identify and spotlight the work of individuals, communities, and organizations that successfully implement reuse systems.

Build Capacities of Stakeholders. Develop and offer training and resources to stakeholders, including government units, grassroots organizations, and businesses to implement effective reuse systems. The focus will be given to capacitating/empowering waste workers through education and skill-building opportunities

Promoting a Just Transition for Waste Workers and Waste Pickers. Advocate and implement frameworks that ensure waste workers are not left behind in the shift toward reuse systems.

Scaling Reuse Models. Expand and replicate reuse models, and encourage businesses to integrate reuse systems into their operations.

Expand and Strengthen Networks. Reach out and build partnerships with other sectors to foster a robust, multi-sectoral network.

Drive Innovation through Research and Development. Invest in research and development to develop reuse systems.

Secure Financial Support and Investments. Advocate for financial mechanisms to support local initiatives and ensure resources are available for scaling reuse systems.

Establish Standards and Guidelines. Develop clear guidelines for reuse systems to ensure safety and environmental integrity.

These action points address critical gaps in policies and mechanisms supporting local initiatives, ensure the inclusion of waste workers, and push big businesses to integrate reuse systems into their operations.

Quotes from consortium convenors:

“A reuse-based economy in which every Filipino has access to reuse systems and affordable alternatives to single-use plastics is possible. Communities and cities are leading the shift to reuse, but we also need businesses and the national government to act to mainstream reuse and refill solutions. Businesses must transition to reuse, while policymakers must enact a law setting targets and driving a shift to reuse and a fair regulatory framework for these systems. With the launch of the Philippine Reuse Consortium, we hope to make reuse the norm again for all socioeconomic sectors.” - Marian Ledesma, Zero Waste Campaigner, Greenpeace Philippines

“The reintroduction and mainstreaming of Zero Waste businesses, such as sari-sari stores and carinderias, have shown potential in driving a sociocultural shift toward reuse. However, achieving systemic change requires strong support through enabling policies and technologies. Engaging more sectors—such as key government agencies, waste workers and pickers, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs), and NGOs—will be crucial in advancing reuse practices and systems in the Philippines.” - Rap Villavicencio, Deputy Director for Programs, Mother Earth Foundation

“Local initiatives and small businesses in the Philippines—from carinderia, to sari-sari stores and reuse-and-refill zero waste stores— have shown that reuse and refill practices are still very much alive in our communities and with the right and adequate support, it is possible to scale these reuse and refill solutions not only to end plastic pollution but also to address climate concerns. It is high time that different sectors come together to play a part in creating enabling environments for these solutions and zero waste systems to thrive and become the norm again. Sound policies, standards, investments, and corporate accountability could pave the way for a complete shift from single-use throw-away plastics to a reuse economy that benefits all sectors.” - Faye Ferrer, Network Organizer, Break Free From Plastic

“Frontline communities and waste workers are crucial to building effective reuse systems. The Philippine Reuse Consortium’s 10-point action plan integrates training and fair compensation for these groups, while also drawing from local reuse models that are already working. By leveraging these existing solutions, we can reduce plastic waste and scale up sustainable practices.” - Froilan Grate, Regional Coordinator, GAIA Asia Pacific

“Malaking tulong ang reuse saming mga waste workers, mababawasan ang mga kalat na walang pakinabang saming mga waste workers tulad ng single use plastics at mga sachets. Sa pagsali sa PRC, madami kaming matututunan at maitutulong. Kami ang mag sisilbing modelo sa mga komunidad sa pamamagitan ng IEC at paghikayat sa kanila sa Reuse system. Makakatulong din kami sa pag aaral dahil kami din ang unang makakakita at maapektuhan kapag nabawasan na ang mga plastic.” ("Reuse is a great help for us waste workers, as it reduces useless trash like single-use plastics and sachets. By joining the PRC, we will gain knowledge and be able to contribute more. We will serve as models in our communities through information and education campaigns (IEC) and encourage them to adopt reuse systems. We can also contribute to research, as we are the first to see and be affected by the reduction in plastic waste.") - Aloja Santos, President, Philippine National Waste Workers Association

"Back to Basics Ecostore is honored to be a member of the newly-formed Philippine Reuse Consortium. We look forward to contributing to the development of the Philippine Reuse Roadmap. The collective actions of diverse stakeholders bring hope that we can make real and attainable solutions readily accessible to the public to help address the plastic pollution problem at its core." - Laarni Cancio, Owner, Back-to-Basics (BTB) Ecostore

“It was amazing to see the different reuse and refill solutions that are already existing and working in the Philippines. It helped me think of ways to apply it in our own barangay. Especially if you are a sari-sari store/carinderia owner, REUSE IS POSSIBLE. Government officials can make this happen if we support the transition of these businesses while creating and implementing policies that would ban single-use plastics.” - Khate Nolasco, Barangay Kagawad Potrero, Philippine Zero Waste Cities Network

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PMCJ on International Day of Clean Energy: Scrap Gas Law, Let Coal Die, Ramp Up Our Efforts for Renewables

Quezon City, Philippines — We have just entered the new year yet the scrap of the year 2024 still lingers. Last year was a series of disastrous climate events for the Philippines. From the impossible heat wave during the first quarter of the year, to almost concerted major typhoons in the last quarters, the vulnerable communities are always the frontlines of its fury.

Today, January 26, The Philippine Movement for Climate Justice (PMCJ) strengthens its resolve with the global network, for the International Day of Clean Energy, to push for a planned and managed phaseout of fossil fuels, ramp up efforts to transition to clean energy—to demand urgent action in addressing the climate crisis the world is in right now.

The earth surpassed the 1.5°C threshold in 2024 as confirmed by the Copernicus Climate Change. Despite the expected severity, the government’s approach to climate policy does not stand up to what is needed to face the crisis.

Last January 8, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signed the gas bill into law. It is being pushed as a transition fuel but, PMCJ has long been highlighting that gas, being a fossil fuel, is always associated with risks and volatility due to political and supply chain challenges. The government must recognize the urgency to focus on the renewable energy industry, over a fake transition fuel.

With most of the governments always falling short in addressing the existential threat of the planet and the people, subnational bodies and organizations have stepped up in taking initiatives to assist the most vulnerable communities.

Through grassroots-based movement and community engagement, there was a successful shift of public perception to transition into 100% RE. One of the most stimulating efforts in changing the narrative is to encourage local government units (LGU), and community-based organizations to act on their future by transitioning to cleaner energy sources through policy initiatives and programs.

The past year, PMCJ was able to encourage several provinces and municipalities to commit to transition their sources of energy; among the provinces were Albay, Misamis Oriental, and Mindoro Occidental. The most recent partnership was made last January 21, in the municipality of Sablayan in Mindoro Occidental.

These milestones strengthen our efforts in promoting RE solutions and in diminishing the country’s reliance on fossil fuels. These efforts are a commanding call for the national government that a just transition to renewables is attainable.

A 2020 report by the International Renewable Energy Agency highlighted the potential of RE solutions in reducing reliance on fossil fuels and how likely it is to lead a more resilient, sustainable, and climate-safe future.

The government, and big fossil fuel companies, must stop offering false solutions. While we call on the government to continue to enforce the coal moratorium, now is the time to demand that it should be made permanent. At the same time, we urge for the scrapping of the law on gas and make the year 2025, the peak of the use of fossil fuels.

System Change, not Climate Change is what is needed for International Day of Clean Energy.

KAWIT, Cavite – Matagumpay na ipinagdiwang ng Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), isang internasyonal na samahang pangkapayapaan, at ng Department of Education Schools Division Office of Cavite - Kawit Sub-Office, ang ika-11 anibersaryo ng January 24th HWPL Peace Day sa Aguinaldo Shrine, Kawit, Cavite.
Ginugunita ang Enero 24 HWPL Peace Day na idineklara ng Lalawigan ng Maguindanao taun-taon simula ng magawa ang Mindanao Peace Agreement ng mga lokal na pamahalaan at pinuno ng mga grupong sibil noong Enero 24, 2014. May temang, “Honoring Our Heritage, Uniting for Global Peace: Empowering the Youth to Champion the DPCW Towards a War-Free World,” pinagtipon-tipon ng kaganapang ito ang may 8,000 kalahok kabilang ang mga g**o, magulang, mag-aaral, opisyal ng pamahalaan at seguridad para sa isang malakihang Peace Walk na pumarada sa Tanggulan Street at Tirona Highway.
Layunin ng selebrasyong ito na palaganapin ang pagkakaisa, bigyang dangal ang iisang kulturang pinagmulan, at makakuha ng suporta para sa Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) sa pamamagitan ng isang Thumbprint Flag na ginawa ng mga mag-aaral mula sa 13 paaralan sa Distrito ng Kawit.
Isang dokumento ang DPCW na naglalaman ng 10 artikulo at 38 talata na nag-aadbokasiya ng international cooperation, conflict resolution, at sustainable peace.
Nananawagan ang HWPL sa mga mambabatas na suportahan ang dokumentong ito na magsisilbing roadmap para sa kapayapaan sa mundo, sa pamamagitan ng pagsusumite nito sa United Nations. Bukod sa mga bansa, intergovernmental organizatioons, mga global leader at indibidwal sa buong mundo, nagawa rin ng DPCW makakuha ng resolusyon mula sa Cotabato City, Munisipalidad ng Kapalong sa Lalawigan ng Davao del Norte, at Lungsod ng Davao.
Sa ipinadalang mensahe ni HWPL Chairman Lee Man-hee, sinabi niya: “Within each of our hearts gathered here today, there are blooming flowers of peace. To ensure that these flowers of peace never wither, what must we do moving forward? How can we continue to sustain the history of peace in the Philippines eternally? The answer lies in education. Education is a powerful tool that nurtures the minds and hearts of individuals while instilling the values of love and harmony.”
Layunin ng HWPL na ituon ang pansin nito sa pagpapalganap ng kultura ng kapayapaan sa pamamagitan ng HWPL peace education sa bawat bansa at makapagtatag ng mga peace club upang maging tuntungan ng mga kabataan para maging mga peace ambassador ng mga bansang ito.
Isang mahalagang lugar ang Aguinaldo Shrine sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas, ito ang lokasyon kung saan idineklara ang kasarinlan ng Pilipinas. Sa pagdaraos ng selebrasyon ng Peace Day sa lugar na ito, nagsisilbing tulay ang kaganapang ito sa nakalipas at sa kasalukuyan, kung saan kinikilala ang mga sakripisyo ng mga nakipaglaban para sa kalayaan habang tinitingnan ang hinaharap na wala nang digmaan at tunggalian.
Kaugnay ng Peace Day anniversary celebration, nagasagawa rin ang HWPL sa pamamagitan ng youth wing nito, ang International Peace Youth Group (IPYG), na nagsagawa ng Youth Empowerment Peace Class nitong nakaraang Enero 14-15, kung saan binibigyan ng kasangkapan at inspirasyon ang may 130 Peace Club Officers upang maging aktibong peace advocates. Isinagawa rin ang oath-taking ng mga opisyal na kabataang ito sa programa.
Sa aktibidad na ito isinulat ng isang mag-aaral sa ika-5 Baitang na si Erhieca Francais Caccam, ng Batong Dalig Elementary School sa Kawit, Cavite ang isang bukas na liham para kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.
“Even though the world has many problems, I believe we can solve them if we listen to each other and work together. I think the Philippines can show other countries how people can love peacefully and help each other no matter what their differences,” saad ng ilang bahagi ng kaniyang liham.
Binibigyang-halaga ng tema ngayong taon ang kahalagahan ng pamana at youth empowerment upang matamo ang pandaigdigang kapayapaan. Ipinapakita ng aktibong partisipasyon ng mga g**o at mag-aaral ang kapangyarihan ng edukasyon upang hubugin ang isang mapayapa at nagkakaisang global community. Sa pamamagitan ng pagpapalaganap ng mas malalim na pagtanggap sa iisang kasaysayan at sa pagkuha sa mga kabataan bilang champions ngDPCW, nilalayon ng kaganapang ito na makakuha ng malawakang suporta para sa isang mundong walang digmaan.
