There’s no doubt that our earth is getting more and more polluted. Just looking at Manila alone you’d see how much waste we have all over. I couldn’t help but wonder every now and then where all our garbage goes after the garbage collector gets it. As much as we try not to think about it, all our garbage is either piled up in another area that’ll end up like Smokey Mountain and Payatas, or burned to ashes causing less land pollution but more air pollution. If we really want to save our earth, we have to learn to reduce our carbon footprint, reuse anything that can still be used, and recycle or upcycle old stuff to make them new again.
Quanta Paper Corporation is a company that believes in just that. They wish to be able to cater to the needs of Filipinos through their products but also considering the needs of Mother Earth. They are passionate in giving waste paper a second life. Everything they offer grows out of their conscious choice to protect our environment.
“We understand that re-inventing new ways to give birth to eco-products such as bathroom tissues, paper napkins, paper towels, or anything that is a friend to our Mother Earth is challenging. It demands that we invest more in technologies and spend much in our production.”
So this August, it is their goal to make every Filipino more aware of the importance of the 3Rs through their run dubbed ReRun/ R3Run for Sustainability.
