These pre-process plastics will be transported to the CEMEX Holdings Philippines’ subsidiary APO Cement Corporation’s plant in Tinaan, Naga City in Cebu to co-process the post-consumer soft plastics.

Elizondo said: “We’re very excited to jumpstart our partnership with Nestlé, the largest food and beverage conglomerate in the world. We recognise and gladly support Nestlé’s commitment to tackling plastic waste.

“CEMEX and Nestlé have a shared vision to make a significant difference and contribute to the economic, social and environmental growth of the Philippines.”
