the Philippines
• In the Philippines, we, the Filipino people, are already
seeing the effects of this. From typhoons with low
pressure, it has progressed to become super typhoons,

Solid Waste Solutions
• We can significantly reduce the amount of solid waste by
following some basic principles of reducing the amount of
waste that is created.
• By reusing materials that would otherwise be discarded, by
recycling materials and by using recycled materials.
• And to bring own ego bag and putting garbage cans to mostly
where people go or to those crowded places.
• And to encourage each to put there waste in a proper way, to
prevent and protect human life.
• MSW Recycling System, Philippines municipal solid waste recycling
plant working in Philippines, manufactured and installed in 2013. It is
the biggest MSW recycling system for solid waste in Philippines.
• Our Municipal Solid Waste Recycling Plant (MSW recycling systems)
are used in combination to recover valuable commodities, divert waste
from landfills, and as a front-end separation system combined with
energy conversions such as Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) and others.
Whatever your goals are, we provide you with the right and best
solution.
