• Manufacturers actively promote re-use and recycling: Bearing in mind that waste disposal incurs costs, manufacturers are going beyond using returnable glass bottles to lower such costs. For instance, the sister company of San Miguel Brewery and Ginebra San Miguel, San Miguel Yamamura Corp, has been producing GLASSlite bottles that require fewer raw materials without reducing quality. Furthermore, the packaging company recovers broken bottles for re-use. Additionally, some companies, including Nestlé Philippines, have implemented their own recycling programs.
