NutriAsia and Del Monte team up to donate upcycled school chairs under Share-A-Chair initiative

 

Keeping with its advocacies of helping Filipino communities in need and minimizing the impact of plastic waste, NutriAsia, Inc. and Del Monte Philippines, Inc. partnered together to donate upcycled plastic school chairs to several public elementary schools.

This was done through the Share-a-Chair initiative, a program started by NutriAsia and Del Monte in which the companies collect single-use plastic waste from its different offices and plant sites to turn them into school chairs and other needed furniture for underprivileged public schools and communities. It is the culmination of the two companies’ partnership forged to help the Department of Education address the perennial shortage of school chairs.

NutriAsia and Del Monte collected 19.3 metric tons of plastic waste from their offices and plants for a period of six months. Part of this collection went to the Share-a-Chair donation of 600 school chairs and teachers’ tables distributed to 12 different partner schools in Bukidnon, Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Oriental, and Davao that NutriAsia and Del Monte have chosen for the program.


NutriAsia and Del Monte then partnered with Envirotech Waste Recycling, Inc., a local company with ground-breaking technology to upcycle the collected plastic waste into the furnishings. Upcycling is the process of transforming waste and discarded materials into useable items which is Envirotech’s field of expertise.

Through the Share-a-Chair program and their spirit of resourcefulness, NutriAsia and Del Monte aim to continue upcycling plastic waste and creating more school chairs to be donated to various partner schools across the country. This way, the companies can fulfill their goals of assisting underprivileged Filipino communities and reducing the negative environmental impact of plastic.

The Erceflora Probi Bears!

Kulayot's First Impression of the Erceflora ProbiBears I always want to bear-hug my growing kids, and by bear-hug, I mean protect them 24/7 a day, 365 days a year; but let's face it, as they grow, they want independence and freedom, and we don't want to be the NO parent.  Did you know? It's been estimated that there's about 400 NO's a child can hear in one day - not including the words STOP and WAIT.

Fresh Ka Pa Ba? Mag-#FruitasShakeMuna!

I don't know about you, but when it's too hot, I thirst for something cool and refreshing! Sometimes, I crave for something that isn't healthy - ice cold cola for one, or artificial milk-tea. Familiar, right But since I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle, I stay away from soft drinks and minimize my milktea consumption by having other alternative refreshing drinks! At home, we try to blend fresh watermelon with apples and lemons for one, or I just drink plain water if I knew I had enough sugar for the day already. But when you're outside, it's a different story. Specially if you are on a road trip, and needed the extra booze from the sweets. Well, if we all want to feel good and look like a million buck without breaking the bank and harming your body, then let's shake it like Sarah G.! Yes!
