Sparklo, the Abu Dhabi-based global cleantech company, recently introduced its smart recycling solution to the Philippine market through participation in two key sustainability events. The innovative Sparklomat reverse vending machines (RVMs) were showcased at the inauguration of the Pasig City Innovation for Circular Economy (ICE) Hub, a flagship initiative supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and an event organised by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
The events served as a platform for Sparklo to provide participants with a hands-on opportunity to see how technology can support responsible consumption, waste reduction, and circular economy initiatives in practice.
The events brought together representatives from public institutions, environmental organisations, and sustainability leaders, creating valuable space for discussion around how data-driven recycling infrastructure and cross-sector partnerships can contribute to national environmental goals. Notable attendees included Vico Sotto, Mayor of Pasig City, and Christophe Bahuet, UNDP Resident Representative, both of whom took the time to engage with the solution and experience the Sparklomat first-hand. Their interest reflected the growing attention from local and international leadership towards practical, technology-enabled recycling systems that can support cities and communities.
These engagements mark an important step in Sparklo’s expansion into the Philippines and reinforces its commitment to working closely with local stakeholders to build accessible, scalable, and impact-driven recycling infrastructure across the island nation.
