Communication students receive award in business innovation challenge

A techno-driven social enterprise conceptualized by a team of AB Communication Arts students from DLSU emerged as 2nd runner up of the 2020 Enactus Business Innovation Idea Challenge.

Team TriniTech Alliance’s Earlrich Ibon and Christine Barroso received the news at the Enactus online awarding ceremonies last December 5.

TriniTech Alliance launches and manages projects geared towards the localization of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. One of its current projects is P65: Circula, which is a vending machine that collects waste materials in exchange of discounted products.

Collected plastics are turned into eco-bricks and planks in partnership with non-government organizations and advocacy groups.

TriniTech also partners up with private companies for their corporate social responsibility. It likewise engages partner communities for the maintenance of their vending machines.
