Marine conservation advocacy group Oceana Philippines has helped quantify single-use plastic waste avoidance between November and December among a handful of environment-conscious private enterprises.

“#DiNaSingle enterprises composed of Akbayanihan, Back to Basics, Eco Shift, Katha, Lush, and Balay Qubo and The Bamboo Company avoided a total of 1,055,098 single-use plastic in November to December 2020,” a statement from Oceana bared Thursday.

The hashtag #DiNaSingle is a clever reference to the local movement against single-use plastics. It also entails the formation of new partnerships. Antiporda vowed to release the list of non-environmentally acceptable products and packaging soon. Oceana called this “an unperformed 20-year-old mandate of the Commission which could have drastically reduced plastic pollution at the sources.”
