Building Sustainable Futures: Insights into Sanitary Landfills in the Philippines

In this webinar, we will look into the issues of solid-waste generation and management in the Philippines, relevant laws and regulations alongside current and future efforts in solid-waste management. Our objective is to shed light on the critical role of Sanitary Landfills in a rapidly developing country like the Philippines as well as the government’s initiatives toward achieving a sustainable solid-waste management system. We will also highlight some of the best practices in the industry today.

Heavily influenced by the “Technical Guidebook on Solid Wastes Disposal Design, Operation, and Management” by the National Solid Waste Commission (NSWC) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), our discussion aims to educate viewers on the importance of adopting modern landfill technologies for environmental sustainability and community well-being.

Key Topics:

• The Current State of Solid Waste Management in the Philippines: We will provide an overview of how solid waste disposal is currently handled in the Philippines.
