| Waste can be generated in all sorts of ways. It is | | | | Corporation (GEECF). |
| considered to be the end product of both natural | | | | Wastes that can be converted into green energy |
| and artificial processes such as manufacturing, | | | | using the technology includes municipal solid waste, |
| chemical reactions, and even events in biochemical | | | | agricultural waste, forestry surpluses or wastes, |
| pathways. In the Philippines, about 1.3 Million tons | | | | industrial waste, medical waste materials, |
| per year of wastes are generated according to | | | | traditional fossil fuels and other wastes materials. |
| IMO report of 1995 and based on DENR | | | | And aside from the green energy that it can |
| (Department of Environment and Natural | | | | generate, it also produces pozzolanic ash, high-alloy |
| Resources) records about 6,700 tons are being | | | | steel wire, carbon black and gallons of distilled |
| generated in the National Capital Region alone | | | | water. |
| every day but only approximately 10% are being | | | | Through the initiatives of Spectrum Blue Steel |
| recycled or composted. The remaining 90% goes | | | | Corporation (SBSC) together with True Green |
| straight to dump sites, rivers, streets and | | | | Energy Group (TGEG), the Biosphere Process™ |
| backyards. This is the reason why waste | | | | is now ongoing deployment in various cities and |

| An excellent solution which Philippine government | | | | SBSC is an environmental company that has an |
