Epson Philippines’ Trash to Treasure Program
The company launched its “Trash to Treasure” program in 2023, encouraging employees to donate specific types of clean plastic waste.
By the end of the year, the company had amassed 162 kilograms of clean plastic waste. These materials were donated to Pasig City’s Environmental Resources and Waste Management Office (CENRO) for upcycling into practical items.
Employees participate in a program by reviewing acceptable plastics, cleaning and air-drying them, and dropping them off in designated bins. The collected plastics are then allocated to Pasig CENRO for local recycling initiatives.
The company is committed to environmentally friendly practices, using recycled materials in products and packaging. The company’s “Trash to Treasure” program encourages responsible consumption and waste reduction and plans to continue this initiative, aiming to transform waste into valuable resources for a sustainable future.
