NLEX Drive and Dine scores for Mother Earth with Shoot That Bottle launch

The Philippines ranks as the world’s third largest polluter, with millions of metric tons of plastic waste generated each year. Although it has a high garbage collection rate, the lack of proper disposal facilities and sanitary landfills causes the trash to leak into the ocean, making it very harmful for the environment.

NLEX Drive and Dine, the top Motorists Toll Service Facility along NLEX Southbound seeks to address the increasing need for proper disposal facilities and sanitary landfills to prevent trash from leaking into the ocean, which can be extremely detrimental to the environment.

From its practice of collecting 80 kilos of empty plastic bottles per month, Drive and Dine launched “Shoot That Bottle”, a sustainable innovative solution which promotes the reduction of plastic waste and recycling of single-use plastic bottles. A colorful installation of hoops encourages people in the area to throw their empty bottles in a fun and mindful way—by shooting them into the trash bins.
