IMPLEMENTING LAWRA 9003
ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANGEMENT ACT OF 2000
Despite the promotion of waste segregation and collection at source, in particular the zero waste movement, adoption has been at a very slow pace due to lack of government support*.
The simplicity of RA 9003’s prescription – reduce, reuse, recycle at the local level – awaits serious implementation.
*Executive Summary for RA 9003.
ISSUES HOUNDING SWMin
LGUs
Lack the technical resources. Need to encourage responsible private sector
participation Need to rationalize expenditures with system
components. Lack of accountability for funds spent on solid
waste management.
HINDRANCES TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
RA 9003IN THE MUNICIPAL LEVEL
Recommended solutions are expensive. Municipal budgetary constraints. Lack of know-how and expertise Lack of support from the national
government
HOW THIS PROPOSAL CONFORM TORA 9003, ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MGT ACT OF 2000
ANDRA 8749, CLEAN AIR ACT
ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MGT ACT OF 2000
WASTE UTILIZATIONReduce, reuse, recycle at the local level
Recyclable plastics can be re- processed and reused.
Biodegradable farm and market waste can be processed into organic fertilizers.
Other waste materials, such as metal can be sold to scrap to recyclers.
RA 8749, CLEAN AIR ACT
Enact an ordinance that would prohibit the burning of farm waste will greatly reduce carbon emission into the atmosphere and slow down global warming.
Convert biodegradable waste that naturally emit methane, such as animal waste and food scrap, into organic fertilizer.
PROPOSAL
Technology transfer scheme in the production of biodegradable farm and market waste using rapid composting activators into quality organic fertilizers .
AIC shall:
1. Undertake preparatory activities for the establishment of the Project, to include organizational and pre-operating activities.
2. Provide the technology and formulations for organic fertilizer production.3. Provide the rapid composting activators. 4. Provide the training for the manufacturing of the organic fertilizers.
Manufacturing site requirements

BAR links up with private sector to establishbio-fertilizer production facilities in the regionsBy Rita T. de la CruzPhotos by Anthony A. Constantino
Biofertilizer production facilities will be established in 16 Regional Integrated Agricultural Research Centers (RIARCs) of the Department of Agriculture-Regional Field Units (DA-RFUs).
This was stipulated in a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed recently by Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) and the Agro-Forestry Crop Systems Inc. (AFCSI), a private entity.The MOA was signed in line with Executive Order (EO) promoting and developing organic agriculture in the Philippines.
The 18 pilot experimental sites where the biofertilizer production facilities will be tested are: Baguio City (CAR), La Union (RFU I), Isabela (RFU II), Tarlac City (RFU III), Lipa City, Batangas, and Quezon Province (RFU IV-A), Camarines Sur and Camarines Norte (RFU V), Iloilo (RFU VI), Cebu City (RFU VII), Leyte (RFU VIII), Zamboanga del Sur (RFU IX), Bukidnon (RFU X), Cotabato City (ARMM), Davao City (RFU XI), Kidapawan City (RFU XII), and Agusan del Sur .
