Key Takeaways

  • Collection points are installed at three Enchanted Kingdom locations.
  • Tapon to Ipon accepts clear PET bottles of any brand.
  • Recycled-plastic benches accompany the bins.
  • Signs encourage proper segregation and bottle collection.
  • The initiative expands the companies’ longstanding partnership.

The expanded partnership brings recycling bins and recycled-plastic benches to three visitor areas.

Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines and Enchanted Kingdom have installed Tapon to Ipon collection bins and recycled-plastic benches at three locations across the Laguna theme park.

Guests can find the installations at Victoria Park, Agila the EKsperience: Saribuhay, and Spaceport.

The initiative expands a partnership of more than 14 years, adding bottle collection to the companies’ existing work around beverages and park experiences.

Clear PET bottles of any brand

Tapon to Ipon is the Coca-Cola system’s nationwide program for collecting clear PET plastic bottles, including those from other brands.

The park installations give guests accessible places to segregate bottles during their visit. Accompanying signs explain the recyclability of clear PET and encourage visitors to use the collection points.

The benches beside the bins are made from recycled plastic. The release does not specify collection targets or the volume of plastic used in the benches.

Atty. Marc Cruz Cox, CCEAP Stakeholder Relations Director, said proper segregation allows parkgoers to contribute to the shared objective of recovering and recycling more bottles.

Building habits into a day out

Enchanted Kingdom Chairman and President Cesar Mario Mamon said the initiative coincides with Fiesta ng Saribuhay, the park’s 31st anniversary celebration.

Its practical purpose is to make collection part of the visitor experience. Guests do not need a separate activity to participate; they can place eligible bottles in the designated bins while moving between attractions.

The partnership’s next measure of impact will be the bottles collected and recovered through the program. For visitors, the immediate action is straightforward: keep clear PET bottles separate and use the marked Tapon to Ipon collection points.
