Holcim taps Prime Waste for RDF

DT

Prime Infra-led Prime Waste Solutions (PWS) Pampanga Inc. and Holcim Philippines Inc. are like-minded organizations when it comes to sustainable practices. That compatibility inspired a memorandum of agreement (MoA) in which PWS will consistently supply Holcim with refuse-derived fuel (RDF) to run cement kilns at its plants in Bulacan and La Union.

The MoA was signed by Prime Infra market sector lead for waste Cara Peralta, PWS Pampanga general manager Jake Lachica, and Holcim senior vice president and head of Geocycle Samuel Manlosa Jr.

PWS Pampanga’s material recovery facility in Porac processes up to 5,000 tons of municipal waste per day using state-of-the-art equipment for waste segregation and storage. The technology minimizes landfill use and with Holcim, promotes environmentally sustainable business practices that are urgently needed.
