ILOILO City – The Iloilo Waste Recovery Joint Venture Corporation (IWRJVC) is set to commence construction of the Iloilo City Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility on April 4.
Mayor Jerry Treñas said the facility will enhance environmental sustainability through innovative waste processing methods.
IWRJVC president and chief executive officer Jose Maria Niño Jesus Madara said the project is nearing completion in its Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) phase, paving the way for implementation.
A key feature of the facility is its use of anaerobic digestion technology, which converts organic waste into energy without combustion. The process extracts gas from waste, which is then utilized in gas engines to generate power, supporting the city’s push for greener waste management solutions.
The facility is projected to be fully operational by the fourth quarter of 2026.
“We look forward to the successful realization of this transformative project,” Treñas said./PN
