What If Your Empty Bottles Could Do More Than Just Take Up Space?
This story is brought to you by Watsons
Watsons Philippines has found a clever way to help you declutter your home and make a difference for the planet. Enter the Recycle for Rewards program, an initiative that rewards you for dropping off your empty health, beauty, and personal care containers at select Watsons stores nationwide. Yes, that’s right, your used shampoo bottles, skincare containers, and vitamin jars could now earn you shopping points, vouchers, or even free goodies!
How Does It Work?
It’s simple. Start by collecting your empty containers, think vitamin or supplement bottles, skincare jars, shampoo and body wash bottles, as long as they’re clean, dry, and sticker-free. Then, bring them to a participating Watsons store and look for the Recycle for Rewards bins. Drop off your bottles and scan the QR code on the bin for detailed instructions on how to claim your rewards. It’s an easy way to turn trash into treasure, literally.
Why Join the Movement?
Watsons isn’t just about selling health, beauty, and wellness products; they’re also about sustainability. The Recycle for Rewards program was created in response to the alarming state of plastic pollution in the Philippines. Did you know that in 2019, the Philippines contributed a staggering 36.38% of global oceanic plastic waste, according to a study by the Global Change Data Lab in England? That’s a statistic we simply can’t ignore.
By participating, you’re not only reducing plastic waste but also helping Watsons educate the community about the importance of recycling and how small actions can lead to big changes.
What’s in It for You?
Apart from the good vibes of helping the planet, Watsons sweetens the deal with rewards. Your clean, empty bottles could get you shopping vouchers, special freebies, or extra points on your Watsons card. It’s a win-win, less plastic waste in the environment, more perks for you.
Ready to Recycle?
Look out for the Recycle for Rewards bins at participating Watsons stores and start making your bottles work for you! Whether it’s a quick drop-off during your errands or a habit you build into your routine, every little bit helps.
