Clark Development Corp. (CDC) named Prime Waste Solutions Pampanga Inc. (PWS Pampanga) its newly-accredited lone service provider authorized to handle collection of residual waste within the Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone.
PWS Pampanga operates a modern, large-scale materials recovery facility (MRF) in Porac, Pampanga with a capacity to process up to 5,000 tons of solid waste per day. It utilizes state-of-the-art equipment for waste segregation and storage to maximize resource recovery.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of Prime Infra, PWS Pampanga, is establishing benchmarks in sustainability and operational efficiency, supporting broader sustainable development goals in the region.
“Prime Waste Solutions Pampanga Inc. is the newly accredited service provider authorized to handle residual waste in Clark. [Prime Waste Pampanga] and other applicants who will be accredited will commence commercial operations in Clark by Oct. 6, 2024,” CDC said in a Sept. 16 memorandum listing PWS Pampanga as the lone accredited residual waste service provider.
The CDC said compliance to the memorandum would “ensure proper handling and disposal of residual waste” within Clark.
“Prime Waste Solutions Pampanga Inc. is redefining the waste management sector. As the operator of a state-of-the-art materials recovery facility, we distinguish ourselves from traditional landfills by providing a sustainable alternative built around resource recovery,” said Prime Infra market sector lead for waste Cara Peralta.
“By optimizing resource recovery, we aim to significantly limit landfilled waste to 20 percent or less of received waste. This way, we are able to reduce organic waste ending up decomposing and producing harmful methane emissions,” Peralta said.
Meanwhile, PWS Pampanga also secured the contract for residual waste management services for the buildings, facilities and open spaces of CDC.
Prime Infra is Filipino businessman Enrique Razon Jr.’s infrastructure arm that focuses on building assets that support the most urgent sustainability priorities – energy, access to clean water and waste management.
