sustainable packaging applied in the Philippines

Sustainable Packaging: its application in the Philippines
Because of very high consumption rate demanded by the ever increasing population even for the developing world like the Philippines, savings are not just demanded in the use of the products and resources but also in packaging those products.
The throw-away society that characterizes the Philippines in the past four decades as a distorted part of the so-called urbanization and industrialization developments is starting to shift. The tipping point of change has been reached; sustainable packaging is starting to be followed albeit slow when compared to the movement in the developed world. Cellophane bags which had been freely given out in all the stores (big or small) are starting to be changed into recyclable grocery bags. Food and beverage stores are going into environment-friendly containers and bringing your own cup/container is being encouraged. Instead of the cheap plastic products, people are encouraged to go into natural-sourced packaging products that are biodegradable and/or recyclable like papers, ceramics, bottle and others.
The Health and Wellness Bazaar is one of those small stores which marketing practices embodied the real essence of sustainable packaging.
1. You can buy our dishwashing soap and fabric conditioner using your refillable dishwashing containers. This is of course cheaper because the cost of the bottle/container is already out of the cost of the product. These products are also formulated from materials which are friendly to the environment and to all living organisms.
2. We are shifting to reusable cotton bags instead of the wasteful plastic bags. The bags are not given free but the cost is minimal and using the bag will earn the clients’ points which could be used to purchase our products.
3. We as much as possible promote local natural products which entire supply chain encourages sustainable practices and low carbon and water footprint.

Life of a soapmaker dedicated to green principles

Hmmm what a joyous relief... I just finish my nth batch of natural bath soap. This time the ingredients are olive oil, virgin coconut oil, carrot juice, and jasmine essential oil. It turns out very good but tracing was reached only after two hours of constant stirring, this is because i decided to exercise my arms and save electricity by manually stirring the mixture. It is really very tiresome making my soap products carbon neutral is one of the principles of being and living green so i have no regrets. I wish I could now show the photos by this posting time but it could not be as the soap are still on their saponification process, not to be disturb until atleast after 24 hours. I would definitely share them to you soon.

These soaps are for sale and you could contact me thru my mobile 09189428250 or email: bank_ideas2@yahoo.com. These are definitely great soaps to your mind, body and spirits. I hope to be of service to you soon...

It is sunday afternoon and it is so hot in my place that instead of going out I decided to replenish my stock of fabric softener. I am making them myself. That way I have a control of the ingredients which are definitely all natural - a product that is friendly to my health and to the environment. The savings only come as a bonus here.

In fact, all my powder and bar laundry soaps, fabric softener, dishwashing liquid detergent and bath soaps, are all my creations - i make them myself. I will be very happy to share it with you if you want to GO GREEN and HEALTHY like me. Aside from GOING GREEN and OPTING for HEALTH and WELLNESS when using these products you could also save money, a must at these financial crisis times.

Contact me here or in my email: bank_ideas2@yahoo.com or thru my celfon: 09189428250. See you
