To coincide with the back-to-school activities, JG Summit Olefins Corporation and Sunnyware®, the country’s leading plastic products brand, joined forces in a recent event, “Preparing A Healthy Baon with Sunnyware®” School Tours.
During the school tours, Sunnyware® and JGSOC visited Antonio Uy Tan Senior High School and Urduja Elementary School in Caloocan City, Centex Elementary School in Manila, and Acacia Elementary School in Malabon City. The focus was on educating parents, students, and teachers about the importance of healthy and affordable packed meals.
As part of the program, Bob Chaervin S. Castrence, JGSOC’s Sustainability Officer, also discussed the safety of using plasticware for food and emphasized how these products contribute to the convenience of our daily lives. Castrence highlighted the role of reusable plastic products, like those offered by Sunnyware®, in supporting sustainability and stressed the significance of implementing proper solid waste management to support environmental protection.
JGSOC and Sunnyware® similarly supported the Tzu Chi Charity Run for Education held in Diliman, Quezon City, last July 21, which was participated by around six thousand runners. The event aimed to raise funds for the Tzu Chi scholars nationwide.
JGSOC produces the resins used for the Sunnyware® Bento Boxes, Tumblers, and other durable, reusable, and BPA-free houseware products, during which some of these products were given away to participants at both events.
In July, Sunnyware®’s food storage and houseware products received a UL Environmental Claims Validation (ECV) Certification from UL Solutions, a globally recognized safety science company. These products are produced from JGSOC’s UL ECV-certified premium polypropylene resins—EVALENE PLUS® PRJ1102 and EVALENE PLUS® PRJ3501—utilizing the clarifying additive Millad® NX® 8000 made by Milliken & Company. This additive and our resins enable an average of 10% energy savings when manufacturing plastic products, showcasing our shared commitment to sustainability.
