Executive Summary The Green Framework of Innovative Strategy for Sustainable Consumption and Production
(GFIS) is a partnership project of the Environmental Management Bureau of the Department
of Environment and Natural Resources (EMB – DENR) and the International Center for
Environmental Technology Transfer (ICETT), under the guidance of the Ministry of
Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), Japan. The project, which has been implemented from
June 2007 to March 2008, aims to strengthen the implementation of environmental programs
in the Philippines through training and technology transfer. It seeks to improve the
performance of industries in the area of cleaner production (CP) and energy efficiency (EE)
towards the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
The implementation of the project has been focused primarily in Region 3, one of the most
highly urbanized regions in the country, where numerous small and medium enterprises
(SMEs) are located and therefore has the potential to generate a lot of waste and pollutants to
the environment. Fifteen (pilot) industries from different sectors namely: livestock, meat
processing, textile, power, pulp and paper, feed mill and others (tire manufacturing company)
have been selected to implement measures and activities geared towards cleaner production
and energy efficiency.
A series of workshops were conducted to provide information, training and guidance for the
industries throughout the project. The assistance of ICETT Japanese and local experts, and
the sharing of experiences among participants, enabled the industries to generate individual
action plans which served as the basis for the project monitoring from September 2007 to
January 2008.
A mid-evaluation of the project was conducted and a presentation of the project’s initial
results/ outputs including issues, concerns, and difficulties encountered during the project
implementation took place last November 2007 in the presence of the ICETT – METI
counterparts at the Richmonde Hotel. Only few issues and concerns were identified by the
industries. These were top management commitment to take the risk of implementing
activities that will generate savings, lack of measuring equipment to compute for the savings
and timing of the pilot implementation (June 2007), which does not coincide with planning

and budget approvals (December 2006) of the companies. Despite the mentioned difficulties,
initial outcomes for the industries were already rewarding. Three industries namely,
Pampanga’s Best (meat processing), Villa Aida Farm (livestock), and Rural Industrial
Corporation (pulp and paper) were made to present their activities and savings from power,
water, fuel and waste management.
For a limited period of six months (August 2007 – January 2008), the fifteen industries were
able to generate a remarkable savings of Php 19 million with an equivalent carbon dioxide
emission of 2,050,873.99 kg. It should be noted that the savings generated by some of the
companies were not actualized for a full period of six months. Some of the companies only
purchased measuring equipments after the first workshop and some savings were only made
during the months of October to January. The savings were generated from power, water, fuel
and waste management practices. The activities undertaken involved the implementation of
high-end technologies such as the use of economizers (heat recovery equipment), practical
and low cost measures, and simple good housekeeping.
The presentation of the final outcomes of the project, industry activities and the
corresponding savings were witnessed through a dissemination workshop by the highest local
government official in Region 3 Governor Eddie Panlilio; Angeles Councilor Ricardo
Zalamea; DENR top executives Regional Executive Director Regidor de Leon and EMB
Director Julian Amador; industry sectors’ Chief Executives, pollution control officers and
participants.
The project is a success and a rewarding achievement not only for EMB and ICETT, but also
for Region 3 as a whole. The direct beneficiaries are both the industries and the government.
The project has provided industries of savings and income, the government of improved
environmental performance of industries, and the public of safety, health and conserved
resources. The project can be expanded further to other industry sectors in Region 3 like
cement, sugar mills, etc., and other sectors like tanneries, which has been pinpointed as one of
the main sources of pollution in the Marilao River, a critical concern in the country today.
Furthermore, the project can be replicated in other regions, as it was initially presented to
Region 4 last February 2008. From the industry sector, CP and EE programs can be extended
to the local communities, up to the barangay level towards the establishment of an “ecoville”,
GFIS Report

where all stakeholders in a community – government, industry or business group, non-
government, academe, and communities are working together to create a community that is
environment – friendly.
On the part of the EMB, it should not be strictly regulatory but should work together with the
industries and continue to provide technical assistance for the industries’ continuing enhanced
environmental performance. As for ICETT, aside from the financial assistance, it will be most
beneficial to provide more capacity trainings – to enhance the understanding of CP and EE
programs, environmental technologies and counter measures, site visits or exposure trips to
“ecotowns” or “ecovilles” in Japan to deepen the understanding of this concept for the
involved industries and government personnel.

I. Introduction
The International Center for Environmental Technology Transfer under the guidance of the
Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), partnered with DENR-EMB to implement the
project Green Framework of Innovative Strategy (GFIS) for Sustainable Consumption and
Production. The project aims to improve environmental (energy) performance of industries in the
Philippines, particularly in Region 3, and implement cleaner production and energy efficiency
towards the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2). Moreover, the project aims to provide
policy recommendations to help strengthen and further develop environmental management in
the Philippines.
The ICETT-METI project assistance is an eight-month project expected to produce and
implement industry action plans for a short term and long term period. The long term objective
of the project is to be able to replicate the cleaner production (CP) and energy efficient (EE)
efforts in an area in Region 3 for the establishment of an “ecoville”. The concept of an ecoville is
focused on creating a built up comprehensive system that is in harmony with the environment –
bringing together industries, national and local governments, the community and other
stakeholders to adopt ways and approaches focused on energy conservation, material
development and integrated waste management.
In view of this, fifteen voluntary companies have partaken in the project. ICETT and EMB have
provided the necessary technical assistance and monitoring to help the industries improve their
performances in the areas of cleaner production and energy efficiency.
A series of workshops have been conducted for the implementation of the project. The first
workshop has been conducted to build awareness and capacity building to EMB regional
personnel and industries. A dissemination workshop has also been carried out to assess the
efforts undertaken by industries during the 5-month implementation of their respective action
plans, as well as to present success stories and lessons learned during the period. Supplementary
workshops have been provided to supply more information that may help and guide the
industries throughout the project. For dissemination purposes, a webpage for ICETT-EMB has
been developed and updates on the project have been published in newspapers.

The first workshop was a 3-day seminar-workshop held at the Subic International Hotel last
August 7 – 9, 2007. It was conducted to present and discuss the status and issues of selected
industries from the meat processing, power, pulp and paper, livestock and textile sectors in Region 3.
Technologies such as biogas/ CIGAR, and other measures to implement cleaner technology and
energy efficiency were presented and discussed with the help of local and ICETT experts.
The final dissemination workshop, on the other hand, was held at the Stotsenberg Hotel, Clark
Pampanga last February 15, 2008. Each of the participating industries was given the chance to share
their respective accomplishments and energy savings throughout the project. Honorable guests
Pampanga Governor Eddie Panlilio, Angeles Mayor Francis Nepomuceno, Angeles Councilor
Ricardo Zalamea and Regional Executive Director Regidor de Leon, EMB central and regional
officials and some of the chief executives of the participating industries were present to witness the
successful event.
Evidently, The ICETT program opened a gateway for industries to interrelate, improve and suggest
ways to save and use energy efficiently. In doing so, this enabled industries to minimize the cost of
production without compromising the quality of its products and services.

It is composed of six (6) provinces namely: Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac
and Zambales; and has twelve (12) cities: Balanga in Bataan; Cabanatuan, Gapan, Muñoz,
Palayan and San Jose in Nueva Ecija; Olongapo in Zambales; Angeles and San Fernando in
Pampanga; San Jose del Monte and Malolos in Bulacan and Tarlac City in Tarlac.
Region 3 is bestowed with a combination of towering mountains, extinct and active
volcanoes, lush verdant farmlands, and natrual sea harbors. As of May 2000, Region III has
been included in the list of top 3 regions having the highest population, contributing to
almost 10% or 8,204,742 of the 76.5 million total population of the country.
B. Economic
Central Luzon is one of the most dynamic and aggressive regions in the country, traditionally
known as the rice bowl of the Philippines. It harbors the largest plain and produces most of
the rice supply in the country. It is the third biggest region and serves as a major industrial
and agricultural center just north of Metro-Manila. It may well be considered as one of the
leading growth regions in the Philippines, which is primarily attributed to its location —
being strategically located between the commercial center of Manila and the industrial and
trading centers of Northern Luzon.
With the opening of various investment opportunities in Economic Zones in Clarkfield and
Subic Bay Area, Region III is now termed as the W-Growth Corridor due to the
industrialization of many areas in the region.
With its proximity to Manila, Region 3 houses 17 PEZA registered locations spread over the
region and caters to various industries like semiconductors, automotive spare parts,
electronics, garments, footwear, sporting goods, wearing apparel, textile, leather products,
and etc. Central Luzon ranks third in the number of manufacturing establishments and
households. It is also the third highest contributor to the country’s income from
manufacturing and agricultural sectors and other economic activities. Region III contributes
to 23% of the national rice production and 16 % of the total swine production in the country.

2. Energy Demand
The average share of the region is 8.9 percent of the country’s total energy demand.
Petroleum products dominate the region’s fuel requirements, accounting for more than 60
percent of the total requirement.
The industrial sector of Region 3 has an estimated average energy consumption of 3.9
million barrels of fuel equivalent (MMBFOE) or 0.6 metric tons of energy (MTOE),
accounting for 21.6 percent of the total requirement of the region. Coal, diesel and fuel oil
are the most utilized fuels in the sector.
According to DOE’s 2006 Power Development Plan (PDP 2006), it has been projected that
“A total of 1,989 MW of new generating capacities are still required in the Luzon grid (of
which includes Region 3), 38.3 MW are committed power projects and 1,950 MW are
indicative power projects. Of these, 150 MW peaking plant will be required in 2010 and an
additional 450 MW peaking and mid-range power plants by 2011. For the succeeding years,
450 MW peaking and mid-range power plants in 2012, 600 MW midrange power plant in
2013 and 300 MW midrange power plant in 2014. The following capacity requirements will
be needed to provide new additional power sources. However, if no additional capacity is

III. Environment Quality
Region 3 is one of the most critical regions in terms of environmental concerns primarily
because of the sprawling number of industries and settlements without the necessary land use
and environmental planning.
A. Water Quality
• Central Luzon is one of the four urban critical regions in terms of water quality and
quantity.
• Of the 40 rivers surveyed in Central Luzon, 5 are biologically dead. These dead rivers are
the Balagtas, Bocauc, Guiguinto, Marilao and Meycauayan rivers, all in Bulacan. In
Pampanga, San Fernando river in Bacolor has been declared heavily polluted
• Industrial wastes account for about 48% of the total pollution load of rivers and creeks
• 51% of the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) loading is generated by domestic
sources, 14% by the industrial sector, and 35% by the agricultural sector
• As of 2006, there are about 317 firms with pollution control devices that have permits to
discharge. The number of firms lessened from previous years because many of these
firms have been given a 5 year permit to discharge. Pollution control devices may vary
from simple pH adjustment of acid waste, to coagulation flocculation of textiles, to
biological treatment of food and human waste, to complex lead recovery in a battery
manufacturer, to chromium, mercury and zinc treatment in a semiconductor industry.
B. Air Quality
• There are about 514, 567 registered motor vehicles in the region, all contributing to air
pollution.
• As of 2006, there are about 584 firms that have pollution control devices that have
permits to operate. Pollution control devices may vary from a simple bag house filter in a
furniture maker, to a wet scrubber in a boiler or generator set, to an electrostatic
precipitator in a cement kiln.
GFIS Report
ICETT-EMB
20
C. Solid Waste
• The average garbage generation in Region III is placed at 0.5 kilo per day per person, or
about 3, 500 tons daily. 70% is attributed to domestic waste, while the remaining 30% is
attributed to industries.
• Out of the estimated 6, 000 tons of garbage generated in Metro Manila, about 2, 700
reach the Manila Bay area, affecting marginalized fishermen in the provinces of Bataan,
Bulacan, and Pampanga.
D. Environment Related Issues
• There are about 11, 600 manufacturing firms, business establishments and power plants
in Central Luzon, all potential sources of environmental pollution.
• Industrial and commercial operations in the region are heavily dependent on fossil fuel
which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions
• Many of the establishments have no adequate air and water pollution control facilities
• Complaints on livestock and agri-based operations have been a major concern of EMB
Region 3
• Small-scale business establishments like piggery farms cannot afford the construction of
state of the art pollution control facilities and other environmental mitigating measures
• Only 3% or 21 out of 623 piggery farms in the region have adopted the biogas
technology in their operations to convert methane gas into energy.
• With carbon dioxide being the culprit in the global rise of temperature, it is estimated that
37 coastal towns in the province of Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Pampanga, and Zambales
will be affected by permanent flooding by 2030 if the annual temperature change is not
monitored.

IV. Sectoral Assessment of Industries
Background
During the 3-day workshop in Subic, the industries were made to prepare initial action plans
by identifying specific problems and discussing solutions and measurable aspects. Included
in the action plans were activities that they acquired from the two (2) site visits in Yokohama
Tire Phils. Inc. and San Miguel Corporation – San Fernando Brewery Plant as part of the
workshop activities.
After which, industries were required to revise the initial action plans to reflect targets for
short and long term periods, and the corresponding savings related to cleaner production and
energy efficiency towards CO2 reduction. These finalized action plans (refer to annex B for
the final action plan of industries) served as references for the assessment and
recommendation of both the industry sectors and individual companies. For the sectoral
assessment, common problems were identified per sector and appropriate energy efficient
options and recommendations were provided.
A. Assessment and Recommendations Per Sector
1. Livestock Sector
Problems (Findings/ Wastes)
Benefits
EE Options (Action Plans)
Responsible Person/ Organization
Poor WWT facilities
Compliance with gov’t regulation
Short Term (<6 mos) – 1. Stop gap measures by constructing
additional ponds and fill in with fresh waste water.
2. Sun dry the filled ponds and use the dried sludge as soil conditioner.
LongTerm (>6 mos) Consider the use of methane gas generators to lower pollutant level to 80% reduction and setting up WWTF to regulate effluent passing discharge.
Higher Management and PCO should be involved so that both can decisively provide a solution to this perennial problem.
Bad Odor Minimize neighbor complaints
Short Term (<6 mos) – 1. follow the above short term plan to
minimize bad odor emission LongTerm (>6 mos) Planting trees is a long term plan due to the length of the growing process
All of the above involves cost and decision should always come from top management.
GFIS Report
ICETT-EMB
22
High cost of construction materials such as GI pipes and iron bars
Save capital Short Term (<6 mos) Apply epoxy primer LongTerm (>6 mos) Replace pipes and purlins with thicker grade plus continue using epoxy primer for maintenance
Only management decides on the short and long term plans, to buy the required material.
High Power Consumption, High water usage
Minimize budget on maintenance
Short Term (<6 mos) Measure water volume requirements, check leakages, turn off alternate locations of lights, use brooms for the initial solid waste removal and use water afterwards. LongTerm (>6 mos) Replace lighting with reflectorized gadgets, use EFL’s light bulbs.
The replacement of materials should be handled by the management. For the sweeping and watering application, the operator at site should be responsible.
Hazardous waste disposal
Minimize spread of hazwaste materials. Avoids danger of infected soil and water
Short Term (<6 mos) Isolate in a safe place and segregate light bulbs, waste oil, paint, etc. LongTerm (>6 mos) Register the company as a Hazwaste generator, hire a DENR accredited hauler contractor to dispose of company’s hazwaste, enroll in DENR Hazwaste generator’s training.
Chief Engineer and PCO should handle this task.
General Assessment: It is suggested that the piggeries should consider to put up a cheaper
version of an anaerobic digester which is available in the market. The Department of Science
and Technology has a roster of local inventors who can help on this matter for a minimal fee.
This is to primarily lessen the pollution load to be able to discharge sewer at a maximum of
60% and also to recover methane gas as its by-product. Odor from piggeries may be caused
by improper disposal of waste and open pits that emit unpleasant odor.

V. Accomplishments
A. Project Monitoring
Based on the approved individual action plans (refer to annex A), companies were monitored
monthly from September 2007 to January 2008. The monitoring, which was carried out by
the ICETT technical working group (TWG) and from time to time, the ICETT Japanese and
local experts, was focused primarily on the implementation of activities in the action plan
regarding the reduction of energy, water and fuel consumption, and also on waste
management practices. During the duration of the project monitoring, the ICETT TWG
together with the local consultant, oversaw the industries’ activities and guided each industry
by providing comments and recommendations on how to better improve and execute their
respective action plans.
A mid-assessment of the project was undertaken on November 2007 by ICETT-METI, Japan.
A presentation in Richmonde Hotel for the ICETT – METI counterparts was held to recount
initial results/ outputs of the project, including issues, concerns, and difficulties encountered
during the project implementation. Only a few issues and concerns were identified. Despite
some difficulties, initial outcomes for industries were already rewarding. Three industries
were made to present their activities and savings generated from power, water and fuel and
waste management practices – these were Pampanga’s Best (meat processing), Villa Aida
Farm (livestock) and Rural Industrial Corporation (pulp and paper).
Monthly monitoring reports of the industries were submitted by the ICETT TWG, which
included the reported savings of the industries. These savings were consolidated at the end of
the monitoring period and the corresponding CO2 emission reductions were calculated.
B. Project Activities
Industries were guided and monitored monthly by the ICETT technical working group based
on their individual action plans. Within a short period of time, various activities (refer to
Annex B for pictures) were undertaken, focusing on the sectoral problems identified in the

Based on the monthly project monitoring, the companies were able to implement activities
and measures that they have gathered from the workshop, site visits, the ICETT Japanese and
local experts, ICETT technical working group, and also through their own innovative
methods. A remarkable aspect of the project is that a significant part of the savings was due
to the implementation and observance of good housekeeping. This merely involves repair and
preventive maintenance activities, waste segregation, training and awareness and other simple
measures. Table 5 shows the consolidated classifications of the measures implemented by the
participating industries.

C. Project Savings and CO2 Emission Reduction A remarkable savings of 19 million pesos (refer to Table 6) with an equivalent carbon
dioxide emission reduction of 2,050,873.99 kilograms were generated by the 15 pilot
industries for a short period of six months (August 2007 – January 2008). There were also
reported savings amounting to Php 907,000 acquired from waste management practices in
terms of chemicals and sales of recyclable materials for the same period, but only from three
industries (Mekeni Food Corp., Pampanga’s Best and Vitarich Corp.).
It is notable that the savings made by some of the industries were obtained from October
2007 to January 2008 since some of the industries acquired measuring equipments only after
the first workshop. These savings were actualized through power, water, fuel and waste
management practices. The activities undertaken involved the implementation of high-end
technologies such as the use of an economizer (heat recovery equipment), simple, practical
and low cost measures, and through mere good housekeeping.

VI. Assessment of Individual Companies Livestock 1. Villa Aida Farm The company is in the piggery sector and was able to present activity programs that can be
met in a period of six months. (e.g. minimizing water usage, repair and maintenance) The company reported savings of Php 31,215.95 equivalent to CO2 emission reduction of
1,324 kg. The savings were generated from the piggery farm through simple measures such
as building pig wallows instead of daily washing the pigs, and good housekeeping such as
repair and maintenance of all leaking water pipes, replacement of corroded G.I. pipes and
repair of roofs. The proposed projects of Villa Aida which are putting up an anaerobic digester and biogas
system are worth pursuing to entail much savings on power and ensure compliance to DENR
standards. It should be noted, however, that recycling of effluent from piggeries should be
taken into caution as this may carry other diseases. It is suggested that simple measures learned from the ICETT project should also be applied to
its poultry farm.
2. Well Breed Farm, Inc. The piggery company was able to identify activity programs, which have been workable
within the 6 month period of the project. The company reported power savings of Php 23,814.00 equivalent to CO2 emission reduction
of 1,462.86 kg. The savings generated were mostly from the adherence of good
housekeeping such as repair of sprayers, repair or innovation of old feeders and shifting to
lower wattage of lights. The installation of skylights and use of spade for collecting pig
manure also saved on power and water consumption.
3. R.A. Villa Farm
The farm reported savings of Php 1,972.11 on power. The reason behind this is that the farm
suffered from the dreaded disease that affected most of the farms in the region. It is suggested
GFIS Report
ICETT-EMB
35
that the company continue to find ways of saving not only from power but as well as from
water. The company’s continuous process of solid - liquid separation is a good step to lessen
the pollutant level of water which is used in the rice paddies. One can immediately notice the
difference in the lushly green color of the planted rice owned by the company. This is due to
the nutrient content of waste water coming from the piggery farm. However, volume of
application in the rice paddies should be regularly consulted to proper authorities. It is suggested that the company should continue to undertake every possible program that
they can adapt from the experience of fellow ICETT colleagues such as the establishment of
pig wallows, and light reflectors, etc The segregation of hazardous wastes and other saleable solid wastes should be given
consideration. Benefits of generating cash flow and following the regulations may provide
positive encouragement to workers and at the same time enable the company to comply with
the law. Construction of new settling ponds for its wastewater should likewise be given
consideration. This will benefit strict compliance to regulation but odor will remain a
problem as wastewater ponds create septicity that produces the obnoxious odor. Meat Processing
4. Mekeni Food Corporation The company identified problems on high power, water, and fuel consumption, and waste
water treatment plant odor. After the six month period, the company reported savings of a total of Php 2,882,256.60 for
water, power and fuel. This is equivalent to a total carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reduction
of 184,363.39 kg. The savings from water involved activities such as the improvement of water suction for
power sprays, which are used for cleaning plastic trays. The company also made use of
improvised water saving devices from 500 ml. plastic water bottles filled with stones and
placed it in the toilet tanks to reduce water consumption. The savings from power involved activities such as lowering the thermostat setting of air
conditioners from 18˚C to 22˚C, turning off the aircon 30 minutes before leaving the office,
GFIS Report
ICETT-EMB
36
minimizing frequent entrance in the cold room of the production area thereby reducing heat
load, and optimizing operation of machines. The fuel cost savings were attributed to activities such as the repair of leaks from the stream
line and regular monitoring of boiler combustion, which if not properly adjusted to
appropriate burning requirement will only consume more fuel and will result to a longer
cooking time. Moreover, the monitoring of the feed water system, which collects deposits
from hardness of water, enabled the reduction of heat transfer in the process. It is suggested that the programs implemented by the company be continued to sustain its
savings. The company should also pursue future projects contained in the action plan to
further reduce emission of CO2. 5. Mother Earth Products, Inc. The company is a slaughter house and a meat processing industry. To be able to mitigate its
waste water production, the company put up an anaerobic treatment facility to produce
methane gas that they subsequently use for cooking. MEPI reported savings of Php 233,443.00 with an equivalent CO2 emission reduction of
14,212.50 kg. This can be attributed primarily to the reduction on power and fuel savings.
The lack of water meters at strategic points prevented the industry from reporting savings on
water. It is suggested to extend the anaerobic treatment system to be able to provide passing effluent
for recycling, as well as compliance to DENR standards. To fully maximize the methane gas
produced, regular recording should be done, there should be trial and error, volume of input
vis-à-vis output, adjustment of the variable controlling the boiler to achieve expected output,
and to wrap insulators around the pipes to retain the heat.
6. Pampanga’s Best
Through the activities implemented under the project, the company obtained a total savings
of Php 1,694,216.00 on power and fuel, which is equivalent to a reduced CO2 emission of
78,443.79 kg.
GFIS Report
ICETT-EMB
37
The company’s practice of good housekeeping involved sweeping rather than washing solid
materials which saved them water while minimizing the pollutant level going to the waste
water treatment facility. They likewise used shutoff nozzles for water hoses, which before
were left running when not in used. The savings on fuel can be attributed to the insulation of heating and cooling systems and the
optimization of the combustion efficiency of boilers. The power savings resulted from the maintenance of leak free compressed air systems and the
replacement of metal halide lamps in the perimeter wall. One power saving measure that
contributed to the company’s dramatic decrease in power consumption was the reduction of
working schedule from 6 to 5 days where quality and quantity of production is maintained. It is suggested to study the use of an economizer to pre-heat the incoming water in the boiler.
Since the boiler is new, the water treatment process should be properly maintained to avoid
the build up of calcium deposits that will lessen heat transfer, whereby more fuel will be
consumed.
Textile 7. Best Print Textile Finishing Corporation The company is engaged in wholesale trading of printed fabrics purchased from local textile
companies. By joining the ICETT project, the company was able to report a total savings of
Php 2,435,215.00, which is equivalent to 928,659.07 kg. of CO2 emission reduction. Aside
from the savings on power, fuel is the major contributor in the mentioned figures.
Considering the country’s present situation in oil and fuel, the program instituted should be
continued and the company should find additional ways to save more fuel and power Additionally, the effluent should be recycled continuously for different purposes like cooling
tower water, flushing toilets, and watering the lawn if volume cannot be minimized, but
quality should be maintained at DENR Class C standards.
8. Indophil Textile Indophil is an Indian – Filipino joint venture company. It is the largest yarn producer in the
country with a capacity of 92,000 spindles, 75% of which are exported. Indophil has its own
24.8 MW power plant to sustain its production without interruption.
GFIS Report
ICETT-EMB
38
Being an ISO 14000 certified company, Indophil has already instituted activities that generate
savings even before joining the ICETT project. The company’s rainwater harvesting project
is worth mentioning to other companies who have the same cooling requirement. After the six month program, Indophil reported a total savings of Php 1,870,324.00 and CO2
emission reduction of 122,881.40 kg. This can be attributed to the additional process and
equipment modification in certain parts of the plant such as the installation of capacitors to
improve the power factor, replacement of 40W ballasts to 36W, and centralization in the use
of compressors. It is suggested to use water softeners which help in the thermal efficiency of boilers. It will
lessen fuel costs but it will require a long period of time exceeding the 6 month program.
Indophil may study further the use of other technologies available on filtration of heavy fuel
oil in the power plant, as the company produces large quantities of sludge oil. As reported, it
is sold to other companies and therefore generates the company extra income. However, it is
still best for the company to try to lessen its waste production. The price of one liter of
recovered waste oil is higher than the cost of selling it to other companies. Alternative fuels other than bunker are costly like low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO) but it can reduce
much of the emission of pollutants like SO2 and particulate matter. If volume of the cooling
water discharge is large enough to suffice flushing toilets then it is also suggested that the
company find a way to utilize it. Power
9. Angeles Power Incorporated The company was not able to present any savings for the 6 month duration of the project due
to the following reasons: big investment requirement for the proposed activities, approval of
the board, and timing of the revision. There were some savings from water and activities
undertaken but the company failed to install measuring devices such as flow meters to
strategic points. Proposed projects include the acquisition of fuel injector and fuel nozzle
calibration tools, and most importantly the proposal to adopt an environmental management
system (EMS).
GFIS Report
ICETT-EMB
39
It is suggested that savings be reported when the proposed projects are undertaken so that the
company will also serve as a model to the other companies succeeding the project. Although
the proposed projects are initially capital intensive, expected savings from power will be
high, hence, the period of the return of investment (ROI) will be short.
Feedmill
10. Feedworld Incorporated The company produces poultry and cattle feed, and lately has invested on an extrusion plant
that produces feeds for fish. After joining the ICETT project, the company reported a total savings of Php 291,893.17,
equivalent to CO2 emission reduction of 12,513.00 kg. It is suggested to replace the pipes of the steam receiving tank, which failed the DENR
standards for releasing effluent at high temperature, in such a way that the hot water
distribution and effluent releasing pipes will be on top of the tank. Skylights can be installed
in the warehouses to lessen usage of fluorescent lights. Installation of economizer is a better
option than a day tank because ROI is only four months based on the savings to be generated
as experienced by Yokohama.
11. Vitarich Corporation Of all the participants in the ICETT program, Vitarich has the highest savings. After the six
month period, the company was able to save Php 4,200,000.00 and produce an equivalent
CO2 emission reduction of 156, 540.14 kg. This can be attributed to the process modification
through sequencing of motors and equipment operations like surge bin, feeder, conditioner,
extruder, cutter, pneumatic conveyor, spreader, and etc. It is suggested that Vitarich be one of the resource speakers in the future capacity trainings of
ICETT to set an example to other industries. With regards to the rice hull ashes, it is
suggested to offer it to other companies or LGUs as fertilizers

Pulp and Paper 12. Fibre Sorting Inc. The company is situated inside the TIPCO industrial ecozone and is an ISO 14000 certified
company. It manufactures and sells premium and standard types of corrugating medium and
chipboards. After joining ICETT, the company reported a total savings of Php 883,995.00 and CO2
emission reduction of 76,023.57 kg. Majority of the mentioned figures came from power
saving activities due to the replacement of over capacity motors to sufficient ones. Although,
this may seem a relatively big investment, the ROI is fast. The company should continue its activities and expand further to programs involving water
and fuel reduction. Moreover, since the company has huge warehouses, skylights and
insulators should be considered to save more power.
13. Trust International Paper Company
The company, as it is very well known, is one of the biggest paper companies in the
Philippines. It is one of the leading performers in the newsprint manufacturing industry.
TIPCO’s products are used widely by major newspaper dailies and magazines here and in the
international market. Being ISO 14000 certified, the company has already instituted programs on cleaner
production and energy efficiency even before joining the ICETT project. The reflected
savings from the project is Php 273,073.00, which is equivalent to 23,484.02 kg of CO2. It is suggested that for additional savings, the company should look into the oxygenation
requirement of its huge wastewater treatment plant. TIPCO may consider the use of a blower
system instead of the mechanical aeration system that it presently utilizes. Although this is
initially capital intensive, the return of investment (ROI) will be short due to the expected
savings on power.

Rural Industrial Corporation
The company is engaged in paper manufacturing and produces white bond paper, newsprint,
and kraft paper among others. Joining the ICETT provided them additional information on
how to save power, water and fuel. This enabled the industry to yield a total savings of Php
1,036,112.20, which is equivalent to CO2 emission reduction of 106,036.33 kg. Upon the installation of a water meter, the company was able to realize the significant
difference in implementing the activities for the project. The steam wastage and condensate
correction gave the company big savings for both water and fuel. It also addressed the issue
on the loss of heat due to leakages. However, it is suggested to clad the steam pipelines as to
keep the heat at a constant temperature and at the same time, save fuel.
Others
15. Yokohama Tire Philippines, Incorporated
As an ISO 14000 certified company, the YTPI can be considered one of the model companies
in the ICETT program. The company complies with all environmental requirements and
implements a remarkable environmental management system. The modification of the process in the company’s boiler system, which was one of its major
activities in the program, resulted in a total savings of Php 3,268,800.00. This is equivalent to
a reduction of 343,324.8 kg in CO2 emission. The installation of an economizer which was
purchased at a cost of Php 2.7 million proved to be cost effective for it was recovered in four
months time. The company should continue its outreach program on recycling, tree planting, and
environmental knowledge sharing.

VII. Conclusion and Recommendation
A. Learnings /Successful achievements/ Difficulties encountered
The project is a success, as it generated savings worth Php 19 million for the industries in
a short period of implementation. Seven out of fifteen, saved more than a million pesos
for a period of 5 months, majority of the companies participated or 87% made savings
either on fuel, water or power. These companies can attest to the success of the project.
Aside from fuel, water and power, savings amounting to Php 907,000 was generated from
wastes (chemicals and recyclable materials). These additional savings from wastes were
reported by three (Vitarich, Mekeni and Pampanga’s Best) out of the 15 participating
companies, which only means that the savings from waste could be more if all companies
accounted its savings. However, since the project concentrated on CO2 emission
reduction and not methane, which is also a greenhouse gas, the companies reported the
activities on waste management but did not compute for the savings from waste as part of
the project. There are also notable activities such as repair of infrastructures, tree planting,
scraps collection, which are part of the overall environmental management of the
companies and some can also contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
With regards to difficulties encountered, only a few can be mentioned: the lack of
measuring equipments for the savings, and the timing of the project implementation (June
2007) which did not coincide with the planning and budget approvals (December 2006).
The timing of the project appeared to be a constraint on the part of the management since
some activities have already been prioritized. It is also notable that while few were
hesitant to make adjustments, most of the companies implemented their respective action
plans generated from the Subic Workshop. The results of the activities to the industries
have been remarkable. For instance, Yokohama installed the economizer, a heat saving
equipment which was initially capital intensive but with the savings the company has
acquired, the return of investment took only four months; therefore proving it to be cost
effective. With other small companies, most of the measures they implemented were
simple and practical technologies. One example is Well Breed Farm’s modification of
feeding containers and the mere transferring of pipe connections to save water. Even the
big companies were able to learn from small companies. Measures like utilizing P.E.T.
bottles as water saving devices in toilet flush tanks, or installing light reflectors instead of
using much lighting, can make a significant difference in the performance of industries.

One of the significant realizations in this project is that simple activities such as good
housekeeping, reuse and recycling, and equipment modification can make a substantial
difference in the overall performance of an industry. Attention to small but important
details such as repairing leakages in pipes, replacing 40W ballasts with 36W ballasts, and
segregating and selling wastes, which are usually overlooked by top management, can
make a significant difference. Not only does it promote a good working environment, but
it also improves the industries’ production and efficiency and most importantly, it reduces
costs on energy. The most remarkable aspect of this is that while improving the
industries’ overall performance and generating profit from it, the industries are able to
promote environmental management through the reduction of CO2 emissions.
B. Replication/ Expansion of the Project
The success of the project is a remarkable feat worth replicating. This can be continued
and expanded further to include other companies or industry sectors in Region 3 like
cement, sugar mills, etc., or the tannery sector which has been pinpointed as main sources
of pollution in the Marilao river, a critical concern of our country today. The coverage
can also expand outside Region 3. The learning from the project and experiences of 15
pilot industries will be a useful guide in rendering the best results. Commitment of the
companies is an important factor to consider in the selection of industries. The huge
savings of the pilot industries can greatly influence and motivate other industries to join
the program. Pilot industries can serve as resource persons to involve more industry
sectors. The best way to encourage other sectors is to share first hand information. Field
visits to companies willing to join the program may also be conducted. Continuing
consultations and communications, sharing of experiences are also helpful in producing
good results.
This time, replication of the project is easier considering that there are already documents
of the project that can serve as references. However, the most crucial part of this project
is the continuing implementation of the pilot industries’ respective CP and EE activities.
With the great gains the companies have made from the project, it is highly beneficial for
them to sustain their activities/program. Likewise, there is already an EMB-ICETT
website that was developed for the project for the continuing updating and
communication of industry sectors.

C. Sustainability of the Project
Sustainability of these companies can be best assured by continuing the support given by
ICETT and EMB. Monitoring of accomplishments and providing continuous technical
assistance are also important factors in the success of a program. Dissemination of the
success stories through workshops will facilitate replication and implementation of this
kind of program to other industrial sectors. From the industry sector, the project may
further be extended to communities towards the establishment of an “ecoville” or “eco-
town”. In Japan, the concept of an “ecoville” is a built up comprehensive system that is in
harmony with the environment – bringing together industries, national and local
governments, the community and other stakeholders to adopt ways and approaches
focused on energy conservation, material development and integrated waste management.
(Eco-Towns in Japan, GEC, 1995).
D. Future Assistance from the EMB and ICETT
On the part of EMB, continuous technical assistance should be provided, particularly in
the sustainability/replication of the project to the other industry sectors or other regions.
ICETT, on the other hand, may provide financial support in the replication of the project
in other individual sectors or regions, or in the establishment of an “ecoville” in Region 3.
Strategies used in the GFIS project by ICETT and EMB can be applied. Further, there
should be regular updating on current/ new technologies/trainings that might be
applicable to the industry even after ICETT assistance. The website developed of the
project can be used for this purpose. Based on the training requirement survey of the
involved industries capacity trainings on the following are needed from ICETT: capacity
trainings on successful technologies in Japan applicable to Philippine setting, equipments
that help reduce steam, power, and water usage while reducing the wastes generated, zero
emission system, renewable forms of energy, process/design of renewable energy, heat
recovery, etc., clean development scheme for small and medium enterprises, monitoring
of life-cycle process system, and strengthening enforcement of environmental laws. Field
visits and exposure to Japan’s “eco-towns” or ecoville” can also enhance the
understanding and deepen the knowledge of these communities which can be applied to
the Philippine setting.
