First Balfour collects more plastic waste for recycling

First Balfour Inc., the Lopez Group’s construction and engineering arm, has reached a new milestone in its partnership with The Plastic Flamingo Philippines a pro-environment social enterprise and recycler, by collecting for PLAF more than six tons of reusable plastic waste since the start of their cooperation in 2022.

First Balfour, particularly its head office in Paranaque and the FPIP Plaza construction site in Santo Tomas, Batangas, collected the plastic waste not only from company operations but also from supportive employees.

“As a committed PLAF partner, First Balfour has collected and delivered the plastic waste to PLAF’s facility in Muntinlupa. So, instead of sending the waste to landfills, these materials were transformed into sustainable construction products,” said Vicente de Lima II, First Balfour head of strategic business planning and corporate sustainability.
