Eco-Ikot Center pop-up booths
During the caravan, ASUS Concept Stores will feature pop-up Eco-Ikot
Centers in collaboration with CORA, where store visitors may bring recycled,
clean, dry, flattened, and clear plastic bottles in exchange for ASUS and CORA
merchandise. Each visitor needs to donate at least two plastic bottles (a
maximum of ten bottles per person) to get a chance to win exciting prizes.
During each leg of the caravan, ASUS and CORA will also have numerous booth
activities in store.
CORA is a nonprofit organization that creates inclusive programs
focusing on the world's most pressing social and environmental issues, such as
hunger, marine pollution, and climate change. Founded by Antoinette Taus in
2016, who helped launch ASUS’ most sustainable Zenbook yet, ASUS Zenbook S
13 OLED, CORA has impacted the lives of thousands of Filipinos in vulnerable
communities. CORA’s Eco-Ikot Center is an inclusive and holistic circular
economy system that allows communities to exchange recyclables for
"points," which can be redeemed for various incentives. The first of
its kind in the Philippines, and the world, CORA’s "Eco-Ikot Center"
provides a sustainable solution to the plastic pollution crisis.
CORA Founder and Executive Director Antoinette Taus will also be at the
mentioned malls at 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. on August 13, 20, and 26, 2023, to receive
the recyclables mallgoers will donate.
