“Achieving the Plastic Cleanup Partner seal is an important milestone for us. This seal is a powerful message to our stakeholders, consumers, and partners that we are actively working to ensure that plastic waste is diverted from nature and the landfill. It is a symbol of our dedication to our Sustainable Snacking Strategy,’ ensuring that the right snack is delivered in the right way. We believe compliance with the EPR Law is not just about meeting requirements; it’s about leading by example and advocating for others to follow. At Mondelēz International, we are committed to reducing plastic packaging, evolving our materials to use recycled content, and improving waste management systems in countries where we operate. That is why for every kilo of post-consumer plastic packaging we introduce to the market; we ensure the equivalent amount is collected and diverted from nature here in the Philippines.” ~Aleli Arcilla, Managing Director of Mondelēz International in the Philippines
Mondelēz International in the Philippines has received the Plastic Cleanup Partner Seal from PCX Markets, marking a significant step towards sustainability. This recognition emphasizes the company's commitment to sustainable practices, particularly its compliance with the Philippine Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Law and ongoing efforts to manage plastic waste in the snacking industry.
The Plastic Cleanup Partner label is given to businesses that take significant, measurable steps to clean up plastic waste. Mondelēz International's participation in this initiative aligns with their sustainability strategy, which aims to reduce packaging waste, improve recycling systems, and promote a circular economy. PCX Markets is a plastic credit marketplace that works with organizations to collect and divert post-consumer plastic waste using a transparent, environmentally sound, and socially responsible framework.
In addition to receiving the Plastic Cleanup Partner seal, Mondelēz International also discussed its ongoing efforts to support the EPR Law. The company is committed to complying with the law’s guidelines and actively participates in initiatives to make packaging materials more circular and less wasteful. This commitment goes beyond the 40% collection and diversion requirement of the EPR Law this 2024.
“Mondelēz International’s achievement of the Plastic Cleanup Partner Seal in the Philippines shows their commitment to real, measurable action against plastic waste. Their initiatives, like ‘Trash Right’ and Aling Tindera, go beyond compliance—they empower communities and set the standard for sustainability in business. At PCX Markets, we’re proud to partner with Mondelēz International in creating a cleaner, more circular future.” ~Rudi Ramin, Commercial Director of PCX Markets
The company's commitment to diverting plastic pollution from the environment is part of a larger plastic sustainability strategy. Mondelēz International aims to recycle 98% of its packaging and reduce its use of virgin plastic by 2025.
Mondelēz International aims to collect and divert all post-consumer plastic packaging, prioritizing sustainability and contributing to a circular economy where plastic is valued as a resource rather than waste.
