Accessible Good Habits with Cyberzone
We’re continuing to make ethical tech disposal simple and accessible within SM Supermalls, where people already congregate, genuinely living up to the Cyberzone #TechWeLikeZoneWeLove pledge.
Through specialized drop-off locations that will be implemented countrywide starting in June 2024 in collaboration with Smart Communications and PLDT Home, Cyberzone, in collaboration with SM Cares, assists in making the disposal of e-waste a straightforward and secure habit.
Across participating SM Supermalls, these collection bins give mallgoers a clear, accessible place to drop off old gadgets and broken electronics that are in need of proper disposal. Instead of ending up in drawers or landfills, e-waste can be responsibly handled through a system designed for everyday convenience and better environmental discipline.
14,327 kg Properly Collected and Segregated
Since the partnership began, Cyberzone’s E-Waste Collection Drop Boxes have helped gather 14,327 kg of electronic waste across 89 SM Supermalls, 69 of which are located in the Cyberzone area. This ensures materials are properly collected and segregated for responsible handling. Serving as a reflection on the growing community habit made easier through clear drop-off points and a consistent, accessible mall experience.
“We take pride in being the go-to tech destination for shoppers,” said Patrick Pacla, Vice President for Cyberzone Operations and Marketing at SM Supermalls. “But as gadgets evolve, so does the need to dispose of old electronics responsibly. Everyone has a role to play, and Cyberzone is committed to making it simpler and safer to do the right thing, so tech does not end up harming the planet.”
