Small choices by businesses can add up to big wins for the environment. And that’s exactly what Oikos’ green business collaborations are doing on the ground. By promoting the use of cassava starch bags and corn-based bags, Oikos helps businesses replace single-use plastics without sacrificing quality and reliability. This simple switch powers sustainable development initiatives, supporting both business goals and the planet. Through Oikos’ sustainable partnerships, local brands prove that going eco-friendly isn’t complicated and is completely achievable.

Oikos’ Commitment to a Greener Future

At Oikos, we make sustainability simple for you. Our cassava and corn-based bags help your business cut down on plastic waste without the hassle. We also offer volume discounts and maintain a consistent supply of sustainable packaging, so you can stay committed to your green goals.

By joining the eco-friendly business alliances Oikos supports, you not only meet ESG targets and comply with the Philippines’ Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Act, but you also gain access to sustainable solutions that help your business grow.

Key Collaborations with Filipino Businesses

Oikos sustainable partnerships already bring together businesses that prove going green can work. The following companies are working with Oikos to take sustainability from idea to action, and your business could be next.

1. City of Dreams Manila

The City of Dreams Manila is the first major client to adopt Oikos’ plastic-free corn liners for trash bags, implementing the change quietly but consistently for 4 years.

2. Shangri-La Boracay

Taking a pioneering step, Shangri-La Boracay became the first Shangri-La property in the Philippines to completely move away from single-use plastic trash bags, highlighting the resort’s commitment to sustainability.

3. Heyday

Heyday is a proudly local business that has used Oikos cassava bags since opening, aligning with their mission to stay plastic-free and source locally.

These partnerships are prime examples of sustainable partnerships in the Philippines that inspire others to follow suit.

Collaborative Projects and Impact

Through Oikos’ environmental partnership projects, we teamed up with businesses to tackle packaging challenges using certified biodegradable solutions that deliver. The result? Thousands of single-use plastics removed and stronger brand messaging for eco-conscious consumers. These efforts prove that sustainable development initiatives aren’t just ideas on paper. They’re practical and scalable, hence inspiring other businesses to take the leap.
