"We are pleased that Dunkin Donuts is beginning to take responsibility for reducing the health
and environmental impacts of its foam cups," says Conrad MacKerron, senior vice president at
As You Sow. "Promoting on-site recycling and improved recyclability are steps in the right
direction."
MacKerron leads As You Sows Waste program, which is encouraging quick-service food
brands including Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds, and YUM! Brands to recycle their post-consumer
food and beverage packaging on-site. Dunkins actions represent the most recent success from
these dialogues, following the 2012 move by McDonalds to test a non-foam coffee cup.
MacKerron pressed Dunkin and McDonalds to phase out polystyrene foam because of its
negative impact on the environment.
Polystyrene foam is difficult to recycle and is pervasive in the marine environment, carried
through storm drains to the ocean. There, it breaks down into indigestible pellets which poison
birds and marine animals. It is also one of the most common types of debris found on beaches.
Styrene, used in the production of polystyrene, also carries occupational safety risks. The
International Agency for Research on Cancer classified it as a possible human carcinogen and
several epidemiologic studies suggest an association between occupational styrene exposure
and increased risk of leukemia and lymphoma.
Although the move away from polystyrene-based cups is a positive step, Dunkin has much
more to do. "Dunkin will provide cup recycling only at the 26 stores it owns nationwide, leaving
thousands of franchise locations with unrecycled cups," says MacKerron, adding that he hopes
"the company can incentivize its customers and franchisees to participate in recycling not only
cups but also food packaging."
Currently, Pret A Manger is the only quick-service food chain to recycle a range of postconsumer food and drink packaging on-site. Starbucks has committed to recycle all its paper
and plastic cups in company-owned stores by 2015. McDonalds has not yet announced the
results of its pilot project that tested replacing foam cups with paper ones.
As You Sows Waste program encourages major consumer brands to take responsibility for
their post-consumer packaging. Previously, it obtained commitments from Coca-Cola Co.,
PepsiCo, and Nestl Waters N.A. to increase recycling of their beverage bottles and cans.

Manufacturer/Distributor? TRIDEM Makati City, Metro Manila
Beef
Pork Trimmings-parts from

Iodized Salt

Sugar

the meat. Improves flavor and reduces carcinogens
Sodium Nitrite-meat preserver and prevents growth of bacteria.
----------------------REVIEW
The color of the meat loaf is quite pink.
It's not oily and it has a milder taste compared to other meat loaf in the supermarket. A price of
P16.00 per can is quite a deal if your after something that's not as strong tasting and affordable.

Royal Pineda design architects to update the restaurant interiors. We want Maxs to be a fast
casual dining venue with cool interiors, said Caper. The company is targeting to open at least
10 new stores in the Philippines every year, with focus on emerging areas outside Metro Manila
like in Mindanao and northern Luzon.
At present, the group has a commissary in Paraaque and in Dau, Pampanga, but we may
have to put up a new one to address increasing demand, particularly when new restaurants
come online, said Caper.
The company also continues to be on the lookout for new brands to acquire in an effort to
further expand its portfolio. Included in the Maxs Group are Philippine licenses for Krispy Kreme
and Jamba Juice.
The Corner Bakery businesswhich used to be known as Bakeshop by Maxswill also be
relaunched next week. We want to push this unit as a standalone brand and not just a bunch of
sweet products occupying a corner of the restaurant, said Caper.
Popular offerings are the caramel bars, cake rolls, ensaymada, cakes, mamon and cupcakes.
We want to emphasize the fact that our Corner Bakery products are high-quality yet reasonably
priced pastries and sweet offerings, said Caper.
On the drawing board are new products and possibly Corner Bakery cafs.
In its 65th year, Maxs launched the very popular chicken-all you-can for P165 and then
brought it back the next year, due to very high public demand. This has pushed other food
outlets to offer similar promotions, such as steak-all-you-can and crispy pata-all you can. Maxs
will not offer the same promotion this year, but the company executives said they are cooking
up new gimmicks for their clients, said Caper.
Two years from now, the company will celebrate its 70th year in the business. Were very
excited about it, noted San Juan, adding that the company this early is lining up various
promotions for that milestone year.

Maxs Corner Bakery is formerly known as Maxs Bakeshop, the then bakery brand of Maxs
Restaurant. Maxs Corner Bakery has always found its origins together with Maxs Restaurant
since it started operations in the 1960s. Ruby Trota, the niece of Maximo Gimenez, put up the
very first bakery at Redemptorist Road in Baclaran. Using pugon (wood-fired oven), they started
producing dinner rolls and loaf breads to supply the demand of the restaurant. Later on the
bakery started making cakes to supply wedding functions and other baked goodies (Hopia
Mongo, Hopia Pork, Eggpie, Pork Empanada and Chicken Pie).
Maxs Corner Bakery also started diversifying its product lines a few years after its inception.
The famous Maxs Ensaymada, chocolate chiffon cake with chocolate fudge icing, banana
cakes, chocolate cakes, food for the gods, caramel cream cakes and different flavored-rolls
were then introduced and were even sold at the takeout counters inside the restaurant.
Maxs Corner Bakery even expanded its distribution network to off-premise accounts that
includes schools, canteens & several dealerships. Then in the 1980s the much-loved Maxs
Caramel bar was born. Initially this was baked using 9X13 pans and was served at party events
before it became the perennial dessert favorite of loyal Maxs patrons.
Now Maxs Corner Bakery has opened its doors to potential franchisees willing to promote and
further the brand into the highly competitive bakeshop industry. Be part of the ever growing
family of Maxs Corner Bakery stores and booths around the Philippines. Own and operate your
very own Maxs Corner Bakery today!

Local perfume firm forays in ASEAN
Perfume company Aficionado Germany of Joel Cruz Enterprises Inc. is expanding its reach
overseas after its success in the local mass market for scents and personal care products.
Business is doing very well for Aficionado and Joel Cruz Signatures. Somehow, we captured
the Philippine market already because we have so many stores nationwide, entrepreneur Cruz
said.
He added that, currently, we are focusing on the international market. We want Aficionado and
Joel Cruz Signatures personal care products to be recognized also in other countries.
Cruz said they have already registered their brand names in the Middle East, USA, United Arab
Emirates, and in ASEAN countries.
One thing with ASEAN is we have this harmonization wherein we can bring all our products into
these ASEAN countries. Were quite aggressive now in exporting our products to other
countries, he said.
Cruz said they have recently received a lot of orders from Thailand while there are stores
carrying Cruzs products in Abu Dhabi, UAE and the Netherlands. There are also Filipino
workers who bring Cruzs products to sell there.
However, Cruz said they have to change the formula for the scents in the middle east because
of different consumer preferences.
Thats my dream now, for Aficionado and Signatures by Joel Cruz to be known not just in the
Philippines but also in other countries. Not just being patronized by the Filipinos abroad but also
by the international market, Cruz said.
He noted that its a good thing we have good products, We focus on the concoction of the
products. We usually get the raw materials from Europe, Germany,
France and UK. We dont get fragrances from China, Korea and Taiwan. Its quite less
expensive but the quality in Europe is very good thats why from the very start were getting from
Europe until now even if its expensive.
