Community-first. Data-backed. Built to grow Eco-Warriors, put BEST on the map in every barangay, and recover more recyclables.
Four moves that compound: reactivate lapsed members → be seen through barangay IEC → land a sponsor / LGU city program → sell the audited diversion to EPR clients.
A third of members never return after a single drop-off. The habit never formed — so the fix is retention and visibility, not just new sign-ups.
#5 city in the program (499 active warriors) · we have an office in Mandaluyong · sister company IPM hauls the city · named a 2026 LGU expansion partner.
Only 3 of 27 barangays have working MRFs and ~15% of waste is segregated. Mandaluyong has no barangay Eco-Warrior network yet — the whitespace we fill.
The job isn't to break in. It's to make Mandaluyong know we're here and turn a beachhead into the city's materials-recovery layer.
The sari-sari-store collection network global best-practice tries to build — we already operate it, with brand programs over-performing their targets.
RTK chain-of-custody + ESG dashboard = the ECAR-ready proof an obliged enterprise needs. RA 11898 demands 60% diversion in 2026; the penalty is 2× the shortfall cost.
For Coca-Cola's Tapon to Ipon and Ajinomoto's SariCycle, recovering their own packaging is only the compliance floor. The real work is evolving a community — educating households and micro-retailers to see value in all their waste, and changing everyday behavior so recovery becomes a habit.
A deeper, truer ESG story than a bought plastic credit — and RA 11898 compliance that keeps performing, campaign after campaign.
Real income, dignity, and a lasting habit of seeing waste as value — across every material, long after the campaign ends.
A living community is the asset sponsors, schools and EPR buyers pay for. Build it first — free, but always instrumented — and the money finds it.
Nothing is written in stone — and that's a strength. We deploy free where there's energy, then graduate each site up the ladder.
Continue and expand Information · Education · Communication across Mandaluyong barangays — so residents know BEST exists and has an office right here in Mandaluyong. Awareness is the top of the funnel.
Back the community-first push in Mandaluyong: keep the IEC engine running in every barangay, fund the reactivation & frequency wins, and land the first sponsor / LGU city program. More Eco-Warriors, more recovery, more impact.
