The driving force that powers the Zero Waste to Nature 2030
WHO WE ARE
The Philippine Alliance for Recycling and Materials Sustainability (PARMS) is a pioneering nonprofit organization established in 2014, committed to advancing sustainable waste management practices across the Philippines. By fostering collaboration among stakeholders throughout the supply and waste value chains, PARMS plays a vital role in promoting recycling and driving the transition towards a circular economy.
​
PARMS developed the “ZERO WASTE TO NATURE: AMBISYON 2030” strategy and roadmap to focus on reducing the environmental impact of single-use products and packaging. As one of the country’s leading Producer Responsibility Organizations, PARMS is at the forefront of implementing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) initiatives, aligning with its vision of a greener, cleaner, and more sustainable future.
​
Through strategic partnerships with government agencies, the business community, nonprofits, academic institutions, and other key stakeholders, PARMS is dedicated to creating systemic solutions for preventing marine litter and accelerating the shift to a circular economy.
Key Objectives:

Promoting Sustainable Waste Management: We work tirelessly to raise awareness about the importance of responsible waste management and provide the necessary tools, resources, and knowledge to individuals, organizations, and communities.
-
Advocating for Recycling: PARMS champions the cause of recycling and encourages the adoption of recycling practices across industries. We collaborate with various stakeholders across the supply and waste value chain to develop and implement innovative recycling initiatives that contribute to the reduction of waste and the conservation of resources.
-
Developing a Circular Economy: By promoting the concept of a circular economy, PARMS aims to create a system where resources are used efficiently, waste is minimized, and materials are continuously recycled and repurposed. We actively engage with businesses, policymakers, and industry leaders to drive the transition towards a more sustainable economic model.
-
Implementing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR): PARMS emphasizes the importance of EPR as a key approach to holding producers accountable for the entire life cycle of their products, including proper disposal and recycling. We facilitate the integration of EPR programs, ensuring that producers take responsibility for the environmental impact of their products.
