Holcim helps 3 Rizal LGUs in waste recycling

HOLCIM Philippines Inc. and its waste management unit Geocycle on Monday pledged to help the municipalities of Binangonan, Cainta and Taytay in Rizal in sustainably managing their waste management systems by converting these materials to low-carbon fuels in cement manufacturing.

In a statement, Holcim Philippines said they sealed the partnership with the leaders of the municipal governments where the three municipalities will transport to Holcim's Bulacan plant non-hazardous and non-recyclable residual wastes such as plastics, laminates, textiles and rubber for pre- and co-processing. Holcim will receive up to 650 tons of such materials annually.
