Published May 23, 2021, 8:00 AM Ayala Land Inc. has recycled 28 metric tons of plastic waste, the equivalent of 2.8 million plastic water bottles filling up 73 basketball courts,into useful eco-products last year as part of its “circular waste management” initiative. In a statement, ALI said the plastic waste, which would have otherwise filled up Metro Manila’s dumpsites or find its way into Manila Bay, has been recycled into eco-products like bricks for pathways, sidewalks and fences. ALI said it has expanded its commitment to environmental protection amid the COVID-19 pandemic by using a circular economy approach to waste management- turning plastic waste to products that can be used in projects.
