A group of members of the Philippine Alliance for Recycling and Materials Sustainability (PARMS) have committed to financing the recovery and diversion of plastic packaging leaking into nature and working towards a circular economy for the Philippines.

Linear Economy
The linear economy is the
term for our current
globalized economy in which
we extract raw materials that
we manufacture into a
product that is thrown away
after use.
The linear economy does not
price the cost of the
enormous waste, pollution,
and carbon emissions that are
built into the system.
It is based on mass
production and consumerist
lifestyles of short-life
disposable products
A circular economy is a model
of production and
consumption, which involves
sharing, leasing, reusing,
repairing, refurbishing and
recycling existing materials
and products as long as
possible.
Every aspect of our take-
make-waste system must be
transformed, including how
we manage resources, create
and utilize things, and dispose
of the materials.
