The Institute for Climate Change and Environmental Management (ICCEM), in partnership with the Department of Information Technology, ASKI Foundation, and Coca-Cola, soft-launched a new Plastic Sorting Machine, to help manage waste on campus. This was held on March 12, 2025, at the OVPAA Amphitheater as part of the weeklong anniversary celebration of ICCEM. Three ICCEM interns namely, Mr. Leusam Jay G. Jimenez, Mr. Erroyd Kevin G. Tolentino, and Mr. Jay Raizen M. Musngi from the Department of Information Technology, under the guidance of their adviser, Asst.Prof. Marycris A. Manalang, developed an innovative sorter equipped with a specialized system capable of categorizing polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles into five classifications - Clean, Not Clean, Good Plastic, Blue, and Reject. The said machine will decrease the manpower required for the sorting of different plastic types, while also fostering environmental sustainability through encouraging students to practice responsible plastic waste disposal. University President Dr. Evaristo A. Abella expressed his congratulatory words and gratitude to the interns and other people behind its success. He also emphasized the importance of learning the values of being a responsible community member. The event was also graced by university officials, including the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Ravelina R. Velasco, Vice President for Administration, Dr. Ariel G.
