"According to the SURE Global Waste to Worth website, the principle behind W2W projects is that all waste is viewed as a resource to be recovered and used to stimulate economic development," Fernandez said in a statement Thursday. She said the concept originated from Procter & Gamble Co., a multinational consumer goods corporation, which aims to eliminate waste going to landfills and dumpsites through the adoption of innovative solutions. "The USD11 million W2W facility, to be established at no cost to the city government of Dagupan, can load up (to) 30 tons of garbage daily and can convert plastic wastes into 6,000 liters of diesel fuel, and food wastes into 4,000 kg. of methane gas," she added.
