Boracay MRF now a tourism destination

 The Materials Recovery Facility at Barangay Balabag here is already considered another tourism attraction for this resort island.

Island administrator Glen Sacapano said that the facility is being visited by different local government representatives all over the country.

Among those who recently visited the site were from the El Nido of Palawan.

"The visitors learn about our MRF operations practices in Boracay and they hope to also implement it in their own locality. In the process, we are also learning from them as we also plan to improve our MRF," said Sacapano.

Aside from the MRF, the local government of Malay is also opening its door for their sanitary landfill as also another possible tourism destination.

The MRF is being supported by the Department of Science and Technology and Department of Tourism, among others. It is considered as one of the models for sustainable waste management in the country.
