Championing collective environmental stewardship, Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines, Inc. (CCBPI) and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) recently concluded the pilot run of their joint waste recovery and recycling campaign, Tapon to Ipon: Basta Klaro, Panalo! Barangay Contest.
The initiative integrated Coca-Cola's Tapon to Ipon: Basta Klaro, Panalo! Program with the MMDA’s Mobile Material Recovery Facility (MMRF) project “Recyclable Mo, Palit Grocery Ko,” in which participating barangays competed to collect the highest volume of clear PET plastic bottles of any brand, Coca-Cola glass bottles, and crates. The pilot run took place from June to August 2024 and recognized the top barangays out of over 20 participants across Metro Manila. Barangay Pinagsama in Taguig secured first place, while Barangay Tejeros in Makati and Barangay Bayanan in Muntinlupa claimed second and third, respectively.
