In a press statement, QC Mayor Joy Belmonte said, "Food waste constitutes 43% of the total waste generated in the city so we must establish a robust and effective food waste recovery program." According to a press statement, QC will position these 25 biodigesters in urban farms and barangays across the city, including Bagong Pag-asa, Batasan Hills, Payatas, E. Rodriguez, Loyola Heights, and Kamuning to name a few.
Meanwhile, the food waste-on-wheels, or Community to Farm Mobile Organic Waste Recovery System. will go around beneficiary barangays, specifically in areas with high concentrations of food establishments to collect food waste that will be fed to the biodigesters.
