Malay bats for waste-to-energy program

 The town of Malay will introduce a waste-to-energy program to minimize its problem on wastes.
Councilor Manuel Delos Reyes said the Sangguniang Bayan is nearing the approval of the proposal from Vietnam-based El Elyon Orion Renewable Solutions Corp. The company has selected the town for their waste-to-energy (WTE) program.
“The proposal has already passed the committee report in the council. The WTE would provide an additional 60 megawatts of electricity for our town,” he said.
For several years, the local government of Malay has been having problems with tons of garbage as the tourism industry continues to flourish in Boracay Island, the Philippines’ premier tourism destination which is under the geographical jurisdiction of Malay.
Delos Reyes is confident the town council will approve the said program once it reaches the second and final reading.
