Metro Clark Waste Management (MCWM) has joined hands with an international joint venture to develop a flagship waste-to-energy facility in Clark, Pampanga,the Philippines.
Together with Plambeck-Emirates, MCWM will attract up to US$250 million in investment to the Philippines as a result of the project. The project aims to reduce by 70% the amount of waste that must be landfilled at MCWM's Clark landfill. A waste-to-energy power plant will use waste as fuel. The project will help the Philippines achieve its sustainable development goals.
The supporters of the project hope to start its implementation as soon as possible as part of a comprehensive waste management solution.
