Prime Integrated Waste Solutions (PWS) has partnered with Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) and its real estate investment trust AREIT Inc. to process waste at an advanced resource recovery facility in Cebu City.
The parties said since last month, waste generated by eight office buildings owned by AREIT were brought to PWS Cebu’s facility in Barangay Binaliw, Cebu City for processing.
PWS uses state-of-the-art equipment for a sustainable waste management process focused on resource recovery.
PWS’ materials recovery facilities maximize resource recovery to minimize landfill use and ensures that about 80 to 90 percent of every ton of waste received will be reused for waste value creation activities, including the production of refuse derived fuel and resale.
“The municipal solid waste and industrial waste is really a crisis in the country–a very significant crisis, social and environmental, among others. The release of methane has had tremendous impact on climate and thus, Prime Waste Solutions and Prime Infra are making efforts to industrialize waste management at the national level,” said Guillaume Lucci, Prime Infra president and chief executive officer, in a statement.
Carol Mills, Ayala Land Offices group head, said the partnership will not only mitigate Ayala’s environmental footprint but also set new benchmarks by adopting a circular economy in their office developments to benefit future generations.
Ayala Land and AREIT added they are poised to expand their partnership with Prime Infra and PWS to its other commercial properties.
Other than Cebu, PWS operates another MRF in Porac, Pampanga, with a capacity to handle up to 5,000 tons of waste per day.
