Ayala Corp.’s logistics arm AC Logistics is partnering with CEMEX Philippines to develop, construct, operate and maintain waste management facilities and solutions around the country.
The partnership between CEMEX and AC Logistics unit Waste and Resources Management Inc. (WARM), aims to explore opportunities in the use of institutional mechanisms for solid waste management and resource conservation.
The partnership aims to improve WARM’s existing waste management facilities that feature various waste processing techniques, such as shredding, production of refuse-derived fuel and materials recovery mechanisms that maximize the value of wastes throughout the operations.
“In alignment with both the CEMEX Future in Action Agenda’s carbon neutrality and Ayala’s net zero greenhouse gas emissions commitment, this partnership symbolizes a unified approach to tackling pressing environmental challenges in the country. Together, CEMEX and WARM are setting a new standard for corporate stewardship and community partnership, marking a valuable step in their ongoing efforts to pioneer innovative, sustainable solutions for waste management,” the two companies said in a statement,
“As industry leaders, this collaboration with WARM is a significant milestone in our mutual goal towards carbon neutrality and reducing CO2 footprints across our operations. Our partnership exemplifies a shared vision for a greener future for the country,” said Luis Franco, CEMEX Philippines chief executive officer (CEO).
Rene Almendras, AC Logistics CEO, said the partnership is part of the group’s plan of “diverting 100 percent of our clients’ wastes away from landfills.”
