LISTED food products maker Century Pacific Food, Inc. said on Wednesday that it partnered up with nonprofit Plastic Credit Exchange (PCEx) in rolling out a plastic-waste-to-cash program for sari-sari stores owned by women.
In a press release, Century Pacific said that the initiative called “Aling Tindera” allows the stores to become collection points for post-consumer plastic waste.
“Residents can then sell, through their respective ‘Aling Tinderas,’ post-consumer plastic for a predetermined price per kilogram. Once ‘Aling Tindera’ fills up the container, PCEx purchases the lot of post-consumer plastic at a mark-up, then taps its ecosystem of partners who recover, process and recycle the waste,” Century Pacific explained.
