In line with its commitment to environmental sustainability, Aboitiz Construction, in partnership with Aboitiz Foundation Inc., turned over an eco-station to Buhingtubig Elementary School in Balamban, Cebu, on December 3.
The initiative forms part of the Waste Action for Yielding Sustainability (WAYS) Project, which promotes responsible waste management and environmental awareness among students.
Aboitiz Construction team members constructed the eco-station using eco-panels made from recycled plastics sourced from Green Trident.
Designed to facilitate waste segregation within the school, the facility supports daily waste management practices. The company also donated printers and tumblers to further support the school’s eco-initiatives and help foster a more sustainable learning environment.
“Through this project, we hope to help students understand the importance of proper plastic waste management and recycling. Even small actions, such as segregating waste and reusing materials, can make a big impact in nurturing a generation empowered to protect our communities and natural resources,” said Aboitiz Construction project manager Marife Balbarino.
As part of the project launch, Grades 5 and 6 students took part in an instructional session on effective waste sorting and plastic reduction and in discussions on future waste collection initiatives for the school.
