Greenpeace Philippines will bring its 'Kuha ka sa Tingi' (KST) initiative to Quezon City to help curb the worsening problem of plastic pollution.
“By installing refill stations in sari-sari stores and redesigning the business model around the needs of the community, we can make plastic-free goods available to Filipinos from all socioeconomic sectors," said Marian Ledesma, Greenpeace Philippines' Zero Waste campaigner.
“Not only should companies reduce plastic production and phase out single-use plastics, but they also have to invest resources to transition to and adopt reuse and refill systems in their operations," she said. Aside from KST, the QC city government has initiated various strategies to address the challenges of the plastic waste crisis such as the banning of single-use plastics and plastic bag ordinances, and the Vote to Tote project., where 10 sari-sari stores were equipped with refilling stations between November 2022 to April 2023. The program managed to avoid more than 15,000 sachets, Greenpeace Philippines said.
