- SM Prime‘s new RDC waste segregation scheme promotes recycling, composting, and sustainable disposal.
- The initiative aims to reduce landfill waste by encouraging proper segregation.

SM Prime Holdings, Inc. has launched the SM Waste Free Future program, which introduces a straightforward waste segregation system labeled “Recyclable, Disposable, and Compostable” (RDC).
This initiative is designed to simplify the process of waste management and increase the diversion of waste from landfills through recycling and composting, supporting a more sustainable environment.
SM Prime Champions Collective Action in Waste Management with New Program
The program underscores the importance of collective action, with SM Prime urging the public to embrace the habit of proper waste disposal. By doing so, the community can play a crucial role in reducing the environmental impact of waste, promoting resource conservation, and contributing to the development of sustainable cities.
The RDC scheme is particularly focused on capturing high-value recyclable materials such as plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and cardboard, which are often lost to landfills. By segregating these items correctly, SM Prime aims to maximize recycling efforts and reduce the volume of waste that contributes to environmental degradation.
Hans “Chico” Sy, Jr., President of SM Engineering Design and Development Corporation, highlighted the role of every individual in making this initiative successful. He stressed that while the journey toward better waste management is ongoing, every small action contributes to significant change, and collective efforts are crucial.
SM Prime’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond waste management; the company is dedicated to building integrated lifestyle cities that prioritize environmental stewardship. Through initiatives like SM Waste Free Future, SM Prime is working to create healthier, more sustainable urban environments for future generations.
The SM Waste Free Future program is more than just an initiative; it’s a call to action for everyone to participate in creating a sustainable world. By embracing the RDC scheme and taking responsibility for proper waste disposal, individuals can make a significant impact on the environment and contribute to the development of greener, more sustainable communities.
“This is a learning process and it will not be perfect. Being open to new ways of doing things and of putting into action every little step is crucial in advancing waste management solutions.” — Hans “Chico” Sy, Jr.
