Furthermore – the efforts of BUMC’s team not only benefits the environment but also has a positive impact on future generations. – especially with daunting statistics such as 18% of litter eventually reach waterways and un-biodegradable plastic waste comprises 38.6% of all litter. A littered plastic water bottle, for example, takes 450 years to decompose, while an aluminum can take up to 200 years and a glass bottle deteriorates in a million. 


Meanwhile, BUMC ensures an effective and comprehensive recycling program – and believes that this should be the forefront of its sustainable activities. For its commercial operation, aligning with a responsible recycling partner ensures that the company never contributes to mismanaged environmental waste. It’s with unparalleled dedication to helping others recycle more and a drive to protect the environment that only drives the company forward – but also comes through the determination of its employees in getting personally involved. 


Following the example of BUMC’s mother company, Toyota Motor Corporation, BUMC earnestly engages in the sustainable development goals, or SDGs as declared by the United Nations. SDGs are the blueprint to achieve an overall better society. With this activity, the following goals addressed included:  


o GOAL #12 – Responsible Consumption & Production 
o GOAL #13 – Climate Action 
o GOAL #14 – Life Below Water 
o GOAL #15 – Life on Land 


BUMC hopes that through this activity and dedicating a few hours of employees’ to collecting and disposing of litter will make a positive impact.
