United Nations in the Philippines distributed biogas digesters to barangays across Quezon City, a significant step toward the city's sustainability thrust and addressing food waste.

 The digesters play a crucial role in reducing food waste, which accounts for a staggering 43 percent of the city's total waste.

They transform kitchen scraps and other organic materials into biogas, which can be used for cooking and heating, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional fuels.

By utilizing the digesters, the barangays will not just improve their waste management; they bring them closer to a greener future, one whose commitment is to fostering a circular economy. 

 The initiative is part of the UNDP Philippines ACE Project, in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and supported by the government of Japan.
