The Process

How It Works

A simple six-step cycle that turns community plastic into real-world impact for families, schools, and the environment.

1

Collect Plastic Waste

Community members gather plastic bottles, containers, sachets, and packaging from homes and neighborhoods.

2

Bring to a Collection Hub

Participants bring sorted plastics to the nearest ACTS-certified collection point — at schools, malls, resorts, or barangay centers.

3

Weigh & Record

Hub staff weigh the plastic and record the entry in the system, noting plastic type and participant information.

4

Earn Rewards

Participants receive food credits, school supplies, or raffle entries based on kilograms collected through the chosen program.

5

Plastic Goes to Recyclers

Sorted and verified plastic is supplied to partner recyclers for processing, keeping materials in the circular economy.

6

Brands Receive Impact Reports

Hub sponsors receive monthly reports showing kg collected, communities served, and ESG metrics for EPR compliance.

1 What is ACTS For Change?

ACTS For Change is a digital platform supporting a circular economy system currently piloting in Bohol, Philippines. We connect communities who collect plastic waste with brands that need to meet sustainability goals and recyclers who need verified plastic supply.

Our system turns everyday plastic waste into tangible benefits — food, education, and prizes — while helping corporations fulfill their obligations under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Act of 2022.
