NutriAsia, a leading producer of popular condiments and sauces, recently launched Select & Collect, a new kind of sustainability hub with multiple features designed to help Filipinos embrace “a greener way of living.” Sitiuated at the bus stop along 30th street beside Track 30th in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), the NutriAsia EcoStation provides a convenient and more sustainable shopping haven for restocking on kitchen staples.
A simple online process through the website https://selectandcollect.ph/ allows customers to select and pay for their NutriAsia pantry favorites. From there, they can choose a preferred time to pick up their purchases at either the curbside of the JY Campos Center, the BYOB (Bring Your Own Bote) booth in the Mind Museum, or the Select and Collect lockers at the NutriAsia EcoStation. In this manner, people can collect their purchases at their own time and use their own reusable shopping bags while minimizing contact with others.
There’s more. The NutriAsia EcoStation also features a dispenser that gives free water refills for those with their own bottles and containers as a way of encouraging people to embrace a refilling mind set through reusing containers they already have. To gain access to this facility, people only need to scan the QR Code in the NutriAsia EcoStation which will bring them to the BYOB (Bring Your Own Bote) website. This is where they can generate a unique QR code that needs to be scanned using the dispenser’s camera to get their free water refills.
Solar energy is what the Nutriasia Ecostation harnesses to power up an integrated watering system that irrigates the plants found in the EcoStation.
“Through the NutriAsia Ecostation, we want to provide people more sustainable options that they can easily inject into their everyday routines. Giving people simple alternatives to reduce their impact on the environment helps push the sustainability conversation forward. We hope that our EcoStation is the first of many; we need to see more sustainable concepts in the future,” James Lim, NutriAsia’s Head of Corporate Marketing and Communications noted.
Lim added that by making more sustainable choices in life, people will be brought one step closer in creating a world that’s kinder and more economically sustainable.
