With millions of PET bottles consumed daily across the Philippines, proper disposal has become more important than ever. Through SM’s Green Recycling Machines, the country now gets a modern, user-friendly solution to minimize plastic waste—right where people shop, dine, and gather every day.
A Smarter, More Convenient Way to Recycle at SM Supermalls
SM’s Green Recycling Machines offer a seamless and rewarding experience for mallgoers looking to make an eco-friendly difference. No need for complicated segregation processes—simply bring your empty PET bottles, drop them into the machine, and let the system do the rest.
Each machine is equipped with:
Automated bottle recognition technology
Compaction mechanisms to reduce waste volume
Data tracking for collected plastics
User-friendly interface for quick transactions
Through these machines, SM aims to encourage more Filipinos—especially students, families, and everyday shoppers—to practice responsible disposal and embrace sustainable habits.
Supporting the Philippines’ Zero-Waste and Recycling Goals
Plastic pollution continues to challenge the nation’s ecosystems, affecting oceans, shorelines, and communities. SM’s Green Recycling Machines directly support national and local initiatives aligned with:
The Philippine Solid Waste Management Act (RA 9003)
Local government recycling and waste diversion programs
Private sector sustainability partnerships
By installing GRMs across its malls, SM Supermalls helps reduce landfill waste, improve recycling rates, and create a more circular economy where plastics are processed for reuse rather than thrown away.
How Your PET Bottles Make an Impact
Every PET bottle recycled through SM’s GRMs undergoes proper processing through accredited recycling partners. These bottles can be transformed into:
Recycled PET (rPET) flakes
Textile fibers
Eco-bricks
Packaging materials
Everyday consumer goods
This ensures that what you drop into the machine does not end up in landfills or oceans—but instead becomes part of sustainable manufacturing cycles.
A Greener Mall Experience for Every Filipino
SM Supermalls continues to champion environmental stewardship through programs such as:
Trash-to-Cash Recycling Markets
Plastic Waste Collection Drives
SM Cares Sustainability Programs
Environmental community events and partnerships
The Green Recycling Machines enhance this ecosystem, giving mallgoers more accessible and innovative ways to join the sustainability movement.
Whether you're dropping by for groceries, meeting friends, or spending the weekend with family, bringing your empty PET bottles and feeding them into SM’s GRMs is a small act with big impact.
Why Shoppers Love SM’s Green Recycling Machines
Aside from helping the environment, GRMs offer several benefits:
Convenience – Located inside malls you already visit
Innovation – Modern machines that make recycling fun and easy
Impact – Every bottle collected contributes to cleaner communities
Awareness – Encourages families and youth to adopt eco-friendly habits
This is sustainability made simple—because taking care of the environment should be easy and accessible to all.
Join the Movement Toward a Cleaner, Greener Philippines
The launch of SM’s Green Recycling Machines marks a bold step forward in bringing environmental responsibility closer to everyday life. By making recycling a regular habit, Filipinos contribute to a cleaner tomorrow.
So on your next visit to SM, don’t throw your PET bottles away—feed them into the Green Recycling Machine and be part of the positive change.
Together, let’s build a greener future—one bottle at a time.
