A new way to refresh commuters
The Philippine Star|November 12, 2024
Through its partnership with PCX Markets (PCX), Perfetti Van Melle Philippines has transformed over 1,000 kg. of plastic waste into 100 Mentos benches, distributed to bus terminals nationwide.
A new way to refresh commuters

As part of its Mentos "Yes to Fresh" campaign, Perfetti van Melle is exploring new ways to refresh Filipino commuters, especially during the recent All Saints' Day long weekend (undas) when millions of Filipinos traveled to their provinces to visit friends and family, and in preparation for the upcoming holiday season.

Mentos looks forward to provide some much-needed freshness to commuters in major bus terminals in Batangas, Naga, Bacolod, and Cagayan de Oro. Besides sharing its beloved Mentos candies and other goodies, the brand donated 100 Mentos-blue benches made from 100-percent recycled plastic, giving commuters a chance to rest, refresh, and say "Yes to Fresh" while waiting for their buses.
