Visit of Refuse-Derived Plant

Dear Members & Friends,

The BFBC in colaboration with the EU-Philippine Bussiness Network Environment sector committee cordially invite you to visit the largest Refuse Derive Plantof IPM on March 17 at 3pm.

The country's largest facility for turning rubbish into fuel, capable of processing 600t/day of trash.

The plant, which is Pasig City's joint project with the IPM Construction & Development Corp (IPM) and the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), can process almost all of the city's daily waste production into refuse-derived fuel (RDF). Pasig City mayor Maribel Eusebio said that the plant would produce fuel pellets from the waste, which would then be supplied as an alternative fuel to cement plants. The RDF is majority-owned by Basic Environmental Systems & Technologies (BEST), a subsidiary of publicly-listed Minerales Industrias Corp, as well as France-based Lafarge Industrial Ecology International.

The plant mechanically segregates waste, selecting garbage with high thermal value that will be shredded, made into pellets and wrapped into bales. The plant is expected to convert 25 – 35% of the processed waste into alternative fuel for cement kilns.
