Robinsons Malls has earned international recognition as one of the winners of the 2025 Recycling Heroes Competition organized by the Global Recycling Foundation (GRF). The announcement was made during the celebration of Global Recycling Day on March 18, 2025.
The award acknowledged Robinsons Malls’ efforts to make sustainability a part of daily life through its "Everyday for a Greener Future" campaign. The program weaves eco-conscious practices into the everyday activities of Filipino consumers—whether shopping, dining, or enjoying entertainment—by encouraging habits that support environmental responsibility and address pressing issues such as waste management, climate change, and community stewardship.
At the heart of the campaign is a range of high-impact initiatives that make sustainable living more accessible and actionable. These include mall-wide waste management and recycling systems, the deployment of reverse vending machines (Renew-a-Bottle) and bins for e-waste and used chopsticks, and the rollout of educational and community engagement programs such as recycling markets, eco-art workshops, composting demonstrations, and sustainability fairs.
Robinsons Malls also works hand in hand with various public and private sector partners to expand its impact, including the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Department of Sanitation Quezon City (DSQC) through the BasuHero program, PLDT-Smart, and several local government units.
Robinsons Malls and PLDT-Smart make e-waste disposal easy with drop-off bins in a growing number of locations nationwide—because responsible recycling should be part of everyday life. I
