Prime Infra-led Prime Waste Solutions (PWS) Pampanga Inc. has signed a deal to supply refuse-derived fuel (RDF) to Holcim Philippines’ Bulacan and La Union cement plants.
Under the agreement, PWS will provide a steady stream of RDF made from processed plastic waste.
Holcim will use this fuel to cut its reliance on traditional energy sources through co-processing, which turns waste into alternative fuels and raw materials.
Rare to find like-minded organizations
“It is rare to find like-minded organizations such as Holcim willing to partner with us and make investments in sustainable practices like RDF consumption. We are excited to start this partnership, especially at a time when effective waste management and environmentally sustainable business practices are urgently needed,” Prime Infra Market Sector lead for Waste Cara Peralta said Wednesday.
PWS Pampanga, inaugurated in June 2024, operates a modern waste facility in Porac with a capacity of up to 5,000 tons per day.
The facility employs advanced equipment — including vibrating sieves, baler systems, and magnetic separators — to maximize resource recovery and minimize landfill use.
Its Cebu site similarly supplies shredded plastics as RDF to local customers.
