IDEAS Davao

📣 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭

We are proud to welcome Ms. Elena Mabano, a passionate environmental advocate and community leader, as one of our featured speakers for the Founders’ Forum: We Are All Equal — Empowering Women in a Circular Future.

Ms. Elena is at the forefront of grassroots action in Davao—transforming waste into opportunity. Through her work with the Toril Kalambuan Association, she leads initiatives that repurpose plastic waste into bags, wallets, and everyday products, proving that sustainability can start within communities.

Her advocacy supports the growing call for a circular economy in Davao, addressing the city’s waste challenges while promoting practical, community-driven solutions that reduce environmental impact and restore value to discarded materials.
Her work reminds us that real change doesn’t always start in boardrooms—it starts in communities, with people taking action.

Join us as she shares how local initiatives and inclusive participation can help build a more sustainable and regenerative future!
