Kudos to Caitlin Nina Punzalan and the team at Mondelēz International in the Philippines for sponsoring two new sites run by The Aling Tindera waste to cash program. Aling Tindera, a flagship initiative by HOPE: Business for Good, transforms women micro-entrepreneurs, primarily those running small “sari-sari” stores, into sustainability leaders. The program equips these women with the necessary infrastructure to purchase and collect plastic waste from their communities. One of the challenges in plastic waste management is the lack of infrastructure for segregation and recycling or upcycling in communities. Through the Aling Tindera program, Mondelēz International supports more community-based collection and income generation for these women. We are excited to deepen our partnership with Mondelez Philippines, a trailblazer in plastic responsibility, through this project. https://hubs.ly/Q02Lp2Fm0
