Our Community Programs | Wyeth Nutrition

Empowering stay-at-home moms to support their families

In partnership with Plush & Play and Google Digiskarteng Pinay, Wyeth Nutrition will help moms build their livelihood through the creation of cloth books and teaching nutrition education. Through this initiative, Wyeth Nutrition aims to give back to communities and empower them to nourish healthier tomorrows for their families.

Advocating against use of plastic waste

Wyeth Nutrition is committed to nurturing a healthier generation of Filipino children not only by providing them with quality nutrition but also by ensuring that they grow up in a thriving and healthy environment. As part of this commitment, we launched our own plastic pollution reduction program in collaboration with Clean Our Oceans Project, with the aim of continuing to ensure the sustainability of the planet.

Designed for Recycling

What is Designed for Recycling?

Designed for Recycling means the packaging used for your product is composed of a single type of plastic (mono-material) that does not need taking apart for it to undergo recycling. However, even if the packaging material is designed to be recycled there are no available recycling facilities in the Philippines yet. Here in the Philippines, we have shifted Bonakid Pre-School, PROMIL, PROMIL Gold, Ascenda Kid packs to mono-material, a simpler material that is easy to recycle. In supporting these brands, you too are helping shape a waste-free future.

Why is it important?

By shifting our packaging to easy-recycle materials, we continue to work towards a waste-free future together. Doing so opens the possibility of significantly reducing the amount of post-consumer waste that can leak out into our oceans and waterways through proper segregation, collection, and processing.

What else must be done to make our
packaging recyclable in the Philippines?

As we continue to innovate with our packaging, there is also a need to build and improve on the plastics value chain in the country. A big gap in the Philippines is the absence of recyclers. By shifting to mono-material packaging, we are helping create a supply of ready feed stock for recycling facilities. We hope to encourage recyclers to view the Philippines as a viable country for investment with a growing demand for processors. This, in turn, can help us accelerate towards a working circular economy for the country.
