According to law, garbage must be separated from biodegradable to non-biodegradable.
With a total land area of 2,443.61 square kilometers, Davao City is the country’s largest city in terms of land area. It is the third most populous city in the country – after Quezon City and Manila. The World Population Review said the city is currently home to almost two million people . “In case the national government will not give us the P3 billion, what are our options? We want to know because these are very important issues we are facing right now,” Al-ag added.
The environmental group Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability , however, believes WTE is not the solution to the garbage problem of Davao City. IDIS highlighted the city’s implementation of the law’s waste segregation policy. “This is evident in the current state of the city’s sanitary landfill… where, admittedly, it has reached beyond its capacity due to unsegregated biodegradable waste being dumped therein,” the statement said.
Gases and liquid recovered from decomposition or extraction of non-fossilized and biodegradable organic materials can also be utilized as WTE fuels. “The problem of solid waste is one of the primary issues that we must address immediately,” said Roy A. Cimatu, when he was still the environment secretary. His department considers WTE as “a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to the traditional sanitary landfill.”
“The basis for banning incineration was the old technology used in existing incinerators in the Philippines which operate below 1,000°C,” Aldrin Plaza wrote on the Asian Development Blog. “But modern incinerators are hotter and can eliminate toxic gases such as dioxins and furans.”
