Recycling for Trees

RECYCLE. EARN POINTS. PLANT TREES.

What is Recycling for Trees?

Recycling for Trees is a campaign of Smart Recycle PH that turns your recyclables into actual planted trees through Make A Difference (MAD) Travel.

Here’s how it works:

  • Collect recyclables such as white and colored paper, cartons, used beverage cartons, aluminum, tin, and electronic waste.
  • Earn Smart Recycle Points for every disposal.
  • Convert your points to real trees.
  • Track your progress using the Smart Recycle PH app available on iOS and Android.

About Our Partner

Where do the trees go?

Through our partnership with MAD Travel, Smart Recycle PH contributes to rewilding 4,000 hectares of ancestral domain in San Felipe, Zambales through regenerative agroforestry.

They are planting both agroforestry crops and native trees. From 2020 to 2022, the focus will be agroforestry crops to support immediate livelihood for the community, with cashew as the main starter tree. It grows well in volcanic ash soil and the community already has knowledge in taking care of it. This will be followed by other crops such as jackfruit, coconut, bignay, and tamarind (sampaloc).
