In major green thrust, SMC to shift to biodegradable plastic packaging
Excerpt
San Miguel Corp. (SMC)—the country’s largest conglomerate—is set to become the first Filipino company to utilize fully certified biodegradable plastic packaging.
The company, which is also Southeast Asia’s largest food processor, said it was tapping a local firm that has been developing and testing the technology in the last five years. SMC will initially use this for food and nonfood products, such as cement and feed sacks, grocery bags and food and other single-use plastic packaging.
