Plastic waste reduction advocates held the “Philippine Reuse Study Tour and Conference” in a bid to amplify the viability of reuse and refill solutions, as a way to address the scourge of plastic pollution.
The three-day event, held in celebration of Zero Waste Month, consisted of a conference with reuse practitioners and other multi-sectoral stakeholders, and site visits to reuse and refill programs across Metro Manila. It was held at a hotel in Quezon from January 20 to 22 and is co-organized by Mother Earth Foundation, Greenpeace Philippines, GAIA, Break Free from Plastic and Plasticdiet Indonesia.
