IS INCINERATION BANNED IN THE PHILIPPINES?
1. Public Health and Environmental Protection – RA 9003 Art.1 Sec. 2 (a) (General Provisions of RA 9003) to adopt a comprehensive SWM to protect public health and environment
2. Resource value of waste - RA 9003 Art. 1 Sec 2 (b) – as a policy of the state to use environmentally-sound methods that maximize the utilization of valuable resources and encourages resource conservation and recovery (of recyclable waste)
3. Responsibility Issues – RA 9003 Chap 2 defines the institutional mechanisms, assigning the different roles and responsibilities of government institutions regarding solid waste management.
4. Public awareness – Chap 3 Art. 1 Sec. 15 (m) – The national solid waste management framework includes information and education campaign strategies
Social Drivers facilitating the build-out of SWM projects
ECONOMIC DRIVERS FACILITATING THE BUILD OUT OF NEW WTE PROJECTS
• High volume of waste - what to do with all the waste, where to dispose.
• Specific Financing sources from public and private sectors – e.g. Fees and penalties related to waste management; private financing initiatives including carbon credits, Tax credits or levy exemption (income tax holiday) etc.
• Increasing demand for energy –there is a huge gap to be filled as off grid market is still big.
• PPP – national and local levels (with established guidelines) to facilitate partnering with LGUs
