Solid Waste Segregation and Disposal
* Our factory in Paco, Manila adheres to environmentally compliant and ISO certified processes to ensure that no harmful wastes come out of Unilever’s plants .Garbage is one of the biggest environmental issues facing Metro Manila and many other cities. In Unilever, we want make sure that our operations have minimum possible effect on the environment. Project Eliminate was created to target ZERO LANDFILL in our plant and offices. The target was reached in 2004 and the company has maintained it since then, concentrating on the following goals: * Reduce / Avoid – through Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), we improved our process and reduced waste by 80%. Furthermore, as plastic is made from oil, we developed a process to use the residual packaging waste as a co-fuel for cement manufacture. * Reuse – sort all recyclable which cannot be avoided and develop processes to treat the waste that cannot be recycled.
* Recycle – a lot of our landfill can be recycled directly. Teams were put in place toimprove sorting on the production lines. Now, we sell carton and plastic torecyclers and as a result, our garbage was reduced by 50%.
