From Pallet To Planet
Manila Plastics Plant (MPP) is one of the domestic manufacturing facilities of SMYPC. It manufactures durable and economical rigid plastic products such as crates, pallets, food trays, bottles, pails, and plastic flooring. With plastic being non-biodegradable, the business has found ways to reduce its impact on the environment through the adaptation of a circular economy model.
MPP has several programs for recycling collected condemned plastic products, such as the Pallet to Pallet and Crate for Crate (P2P and C4C) initiatives, wherein the business recovers damaged pallets and crates from its customers and recycles them into new pallets or crates. A similar process is implemented with post-consumer lube oil plastic bottles. Aside from minimizing plastic waste, these programs strengthen the relationship between MPP and its customers through a shared program for sustainability.
For 2022, MPP utilized 4,148 MT of recycled materials for the creation of new plastic packaging, resulting in an equivalent reduction in virgin material for production.
