The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has joined the campaign against single-use plastic items, but in its own backyard, plastic is still widely used, the Inquirer has learned. ADVERTISEMENTBut at the canteen inside the DENR central office in Diliman, Quezon City, food items in plastic packaging are widely sold. Cimatu appealed to businesses to eliminate single-use plastic packaging, especially with the onset of the rainy season in the country. They still sell food packs in single-use plastic containers and to-go rice meal packs at the canteen. Drinks, such as purified water, flavored soda and juices, are also sold in single-use plastic bottles.
