The Climate Change Commission (CCC) reboots and expands its online campaign against single-use plastic with its release of “Bawal Plastik Dito” digital sticker packs for the Telegram and Viber apps.
Users of the two social media platforms can download the catchy and colorful stickers and share them to their friends or others to help strengthen the national call to reduce single-use plastics and promote responsible consumption and sustainable alternatives.

“Single-use plastics are not just a waste issue, they are a climate issue. From production to disposal, plastics contribute to emissions, degrade ecosystems, and place additional burdens on communities already exposed to climate impacts,” CCC vice chairperson and executive director Robert E.A. Borje said. “Reducing our dependence on disposability is a necessary step toward building climate resilience.”
Anchored on the Commission’s earlier “Bawal Plastik Dito” sticker-pack initiative, the rebooted campaign expands into a year-long information drive to reinforce message recall and sustain public engagement beyond one-off observances. It also supports the implementation of existing laws and policies on plastic waste by translating national commitments into clear, actionable messages that empower individuals and institutions to act.
The CCC emphasized that addressing plastic pollution can also be done by rethinking consumption patterns, redesigning systems, and choosing a development pathway that does not depend on disposability.
“By encouraging practical choices and supporting systemic change, we can reduce plastic pollution while advancing climate adaptation and ecological protection,” Borje added. “The solutions are within reach, but they require collective action.”
