In a significant stride towards environmental sustainability and efficient waste management, the homeowners of Lipa City, through the concerted efforts of the Lipa City Federation of Homeowners Association Inc. and the unwavering support of the Lipa City Local Government Unit (LGU), are actively backing a zero waste and waste-to-energy program. This initiative marks a major step in safeguarding the environment and ensuring consistent garbage collection by professional collectors.
The movement has garnered strong support from key figures in the city. Pictured in support of this endeavor are the Honorable Mayor Eric Africa, Vice Mayor Mikee Morada, Councilor Merlo Silva, Councilor Attorney Galy Angeles, along with the leadership of the homeowners association: Mr. Virgo Bad Ang, President; Mr. Leovi Mendoza, Vice President Chief Marketing; and Mr. Gary Llanes, Vice President on Business Development of Alterna Verde Corporation. Gary Llanes highlighted the project’s adherence to stringent environmental standards. “Our facility utilizes an advanced anaerobic digestion technology from Thailand.
This process doesn’t burn waste or use high temperatures. Instead, we capture methane gas from the waste to power our generators, significantly reducing carbon emissions and providing a cleaner solution for the community.”
This collaborative effort between the homeowners federation and the city LGU underscores a shared commitment to creating a cleaner and healthier Lipa City. By embracing zero waste principles and exploring waste-to-energy solutions, the community is not only addressing the immediate challenge of waste disposal but also investing in a sustainable future.
The focus on professional garbage collection further ensures that the program is implemented effectively, providing residents with reliable and regular service. This initiative serves as a commendable example of how local government and community organizations can work together to achieve meaningful environmental goals.
