Town Turns Relief Waste into Rebuilding Materials
The Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (Menro) of Daanbantayan has introduced an eco-friendly innovation through its "waste-to-resource" program.
This program addresses the surge of relief goods, mostly made of plastic, following the magnitude 6.9 earthquake that struck northern Cebu in September.
The initiative turns plastic waste into construction materials to help residents rebuild homes damaged by the earthquake.
- Residents can exchange 2 kilograms of plastic bottles or residual plastics for 3 eco hollow blocks or 2 bags of eco-sand made from shredded glass bottles.
- The program also utilizes "Ecobricks," which are plastic bottles packed tightly with residual plastics.
