Sachets eyed to curb Metro floods

IN a move to address the coun-try’s perennial problem on flooding caused by clogging of sewerage, a consumer goods manufacturing firm has launched a campaign in which their plastic sachets are turned into hollow blocks and pavers.

Chito Macapagal, vice president for corporate affairs of Uniliver Philippines on Tuesday said instead of going and clogging the sewerage, the sachets are being collected by the company and converted into hollow blocks and pavers.
