Homegrown personal care brand expands plastic-bottle-free solutions

Environmental issues continue to persist and reach historic highs as the cycle of plastic consumption in the Philippines carries on. A study published in the Science Advances journal shows that the Philippines has contributed to over one-third of the plastic waste that ended up in the Earth's oceans, with the Pasig River as the top source of plastic pollution.

This is also prompted by its "sachet economy," which has led to the proliferation of economical yet unsustainable single-use plastics that end up polluting the land and ocean.
