Prime Infra-led Prime Waste Solutions has confirmed a deal with Holcim Philippines over the supply of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) to the latter’s operational sites.
“What makes us excited to work with Prime Infra is we know that we’re working with a company that values the same things that we do—leading the waste management sector, and more importantly, a strong commitment to growing with quality and efficiency,” Holcim senior vice president and head of geocycle Samuel Manlosa Jr said.
Under the terms of the Memorandum of Agreement, Holcim Philippines’ Bulacan and La Union facilities will be given a consistent supply of RDF.
Plastic waste will be processed into alternative fuels to be used in Holcim’s cement manufacturing process, reducing the use of traditional fuels in its operations.
“It is rare to find like-minded organisations 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.
