PAGASA SPEAKS AT THE WASTE RECOVERY SYMPOSIUM

On the 27^th of January 2017, PAGASA was invited to speak to all stakeholders at a Full Waste Recovery and Recycling Symposium held at the Mini Theatre of the QCX Museum inside Quezon Circle. Organized by the National Solid Waste Management Commission, STC gave an account of what PAGASA Members have done and gone through in addressing the issue of improper disposal of plastic bags and how this is adversely affecting our environment.  He expounded on PAGASA’s position of volunteering as a collection agent for used plastic bags so recyclers can get hold of these bags for the purpose of recycling; that the QC Local Government has adopted PAGASA’s Position Paper in addressing this issue which is to engage the whole citizenry in returning these used plastic bags to retailers or else face a minimum penalty for not practicing their role as a responsible member of Planet Earth.  STC ended his stay by signing a Manifesto at this Symposium stating PAGASA’s full support to the shareholders’/Alliance’s cause.
