CAPAS, Tarlac (Sept. 6, 2024) — An Emirati company has expressed concern over the imminent closure of the Kalangitan landfill here.
Plambeck Emirates and Metro Clark Waste Management (MCWM) have a planned development of a $220-million waste-to-energy project that will see a modern solution to waste management challenges.
The project is spearheaded by Plambeck Emirates Global Renewable Energy LLC, a joint venture between Plambeck, Germany, and the Royal Family of Abu Dhabi.
In a press release, the company said that the project will benefit the Philippines in terms of direct foreign investment, job creation, and waste reduction.
“We believe that this project could have brought transformative benefits to the Philippines by providing a state-of-the-art waste management concept at par with the best facilities in Europe,” Plambeck said.
The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) said that it will not extend the contract of the Kalangitan landfill operator MCWM and the Clark Development Corporation (CDC), which will end on Oct. 5, 2024.
The CDC is a subsidiary of the BCDA.
