Shell Philippines Turns 3 Metric Tons of Plastic Waste Into Bike Racks for Sustainable Mobility Project

Shell Philippines has delivered a set of 110 bike racks made from 3,000 kg of plastic waste around Metro Manila and Southern Luzon as part of a unique activation to help encourage sustainable mobility and spotlight the power of the circular economy.

The Philippines has been hard hit by the plastic waste crisis which threatens the health of our planet.  The country’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Act, which requires large companies to recover 40% of their plastic packaging footprint in 2024, aims to encourage a circular economy for plastics to ensure waste doesn’t end up in nature.

Me Time That Makes Mom Life Work: Anne Curtis on Maintaining Wellness While Doing It All

Anne Curtis has always embraced life on the go. As someone who wears many hats as an actress, host, entrepreneur, and hands-on mom, her schedule rarely slows down. With so much on her plate, she’s come to realize that feeling good inside is key to showing up fully—for work, for her family, and for herself.

One of her key wellness advocacies? Gut health.

“Sometimes, you don’t realize how important it is to take care of your gut,” Anne shares. “Feeling good inside your gut will make you feel and look better on the outside as well.”

As a self-confessed foodie and thrill-seeker at heart, Anne has always been open to trying new things, from sampling street food abroad to experimenting with recipes at home. But with that spirit of adventure comes the occasional tummy hiccup—those “oops” moments that can throw off your day. That’s why she’s learned how important it is to keep her tummy in check.  Whether she’s at home, on set, or across the globe, Anne believes that feeling good starts from within.
