In celebration of the World Ocean Day, Robinsons Malls together with Plastic Bank PH and Coca-Cola Philippines conducted the Ecosystem Impact Week which aims to save the oceans by stopping ocean plastic and supporting vulnerable coastal communities.

The Ecosystem Impact Week held at Robinsons Place General Trias aimed to educate shoppers about the importance of recycling PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles, share the progress and milestone of the project and reward the collectors and branches who contribute to save the oceans.
