Jollibee Foods Corporation has partnered with Repubic Cement to support the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Law. This law aims to reduce the volume of plastic waste generation and extend the life of plastics by adding value of purpose through upcycling or recycling.
Through JFC's sustainability agenda- Joy for Tomorrow, JFC aims to recover post-consumer plastic packaging wastes, divert it away from the landfills and waterways, and send these to Republic Cement for co-processing.
At the MOA signing held in Taguid City, Roman Menz, CEO of Republic Cement emphasized the role of the company supporting organizations like JFC. "Republic Cement provides a very important solution to fight plastic pollution by diverting wastes away from landfills and waterways, away from areas where it can negatively affect communities. We are happy to see the commitment of JFC towards doing their part in solving our current plastic pollution crisis. Republic Cement is with JFC in their journey for a greener, more sustainable world."
"We are committed to supporting our Global Sustainability Agenda with its three main pillars of Food, People, and Planet. With this partnership with Republic Cement, we are taking steps towards minimizing wastage while providing something of value. With this, we are hoping we are helping to bring more joy for tomorrow," said Gerard Paul Filart, VP at JFC Network Development Group.
The MOA between JFC and Republic Cement covers Jollibee, Chowking, Mang Inasal, Greenwich, and Red Ribbon; also included are the franchised brands Burger King, Panda Express and Yoshinoya.
