Philippines: Republic Cement entered into a partnership on 3 July 2026 with PETValue Philippines for a zero waste to landfill initiative. PETValue is a joint venture between Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines and Indorama Ventures. It is a food-grade PET recycling facility, which turns post-consumer PET bottles into recycled PET resin used to manufacture new bottles. Under the partnership, plastic components separated during the recycling process are recovered by ecoloop, Republic Cement’s resource recovery arm, and co-processed as alternative fuel in the cement kiln. Republic Cement has reportedly diverted more than 1.5Mt of residual plastic waste from landfills through such initiatives.
