SM Supermalls, through its corporate social responsibility arm SM Cares, has partnered with Philippine-based, non-profit organization Plastic Credit Exchange (PCEx) for a plastic waste collection initiative known as the Plastic Waste Collection Program. The initiative aims to help communities dispose of their plastic waste more responsibly and inspire the public to adopt more sustainable practices when it comes to plastic use.
Plastic waste collection will start with SM Megamall (Located at RDU Supermarket, Bldg. B), beginning February 10 onwards, and will soon be rolled out in stages across other SM Malls nationwide. Mall shoppers, communities, and offices within the area are encouraged to bring their empty, cleaned, and dried plastic waste every day, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. only.
