Davao and its garbage
Such a big city like
Davao produces an incredible amount of waste. There are daily up to 450 tons of
garbage, which are previously stored
unsorted on a 7 acre lot. And from that we know already that in the long run it
is not sufficient for the many garbage
in the future.
Of course the city has searched for solutions. So was once a German
company was in contact with the city that would recycle the garbage to compostable
earth, industrial oil products and electricity as end products. In principle it would have been a good project, which then failed on the implementation and the funding.
Now there is a second
attempt and it's concentrating on eliminating the plastic and scrap tires from
the waste. That would amount to about 4 tons monthly. But that would be enough
to reduce the waste by ca. 10% to 20%.
The partner in this project is a cement factory. Making cement needs plenty of energy. And by burning the plastic and
rubber much energy is produced and this can be utilized as well.
The problem could be the poisonous gas that emerges in the
process. But the company claims to have all the components "under control".
Best regards,
Ludwig from Davao
