SM Supermalls launches 'Trash to Cash', recycles 1M kg waste
SM Supermalls has launched initiatives aimed at reducing landfill waste and promoting a circular economy.
Through its 'Trash to Cash' recycling market, the company collects over 1 million kilograms of plastic, paper, and other materials annually for reuse or recycling, supporting sustainable living in communities.
In partnership with Trust International Paper Corporation, SM recycles non-essential internal documents through its bulk paper program, having recycled 130,250kg of such documents.
SM Prime formed a joint venture with GUUN to establish SM GUUN Environmental Company Inc., which converts non-recyclable waste into cement fuel called 'fluff fuel' to reduce coal usage and has processed over 6,000 metric tons of waste in 2024.
The DENR recently recognized the significance of SM GUUN's waste-to-fuel factory for its role in reducing carbon footprints and managing solid waste efficiently.
