BAGUIO CITY—Transparent bins shaped like giant soda-bottles will be distributed around the city exclusively for empty plastic bottles in a campaign by soda manufacturer Coca Cola Philippines to prevent more plastic pollution during the pandemic. Coca Cola invested $20-million in a PET recycling facility that intends to process up to 16,000 metric tons of bottles. That is the beauty of PET bottles,” Tañada said. The first Coca Cola bin was stationed at the fork leading up to downtown Session Road, but some people mistook it for an ordinary waste basket. “We realize we have an issue with PET bottles lying around uncollected and we want to do our part,” Tañada said.
