Prime Integrated Waste Solutions Inc. (PWS) was established to answer the increasing demand for waste management solutions in industrialized and fast-growing cities in the Philippines.
It operates two of the Philippines’ only automated materials recovery facilities (MRFs): one in Cebu and one in Pampanga, with plans to develop more MRFs across the country to industrialize the waste management system at high scale.
PWS uses state-of-the-art equipment for waste segregation and storage, such as vibrating sieves, baler systems, and magnetic separators, to maximize resource recovery. It aims to significantly reduce landfill volumes, thereby lessening organic waste ending up decomposing and producing harmful methane emissions.
In Cebu, it currently processes 1,000 tons of municipal solid waste daily. Its Pampanga MRF, inaugurated in June 2024, has a capacity of 5,000 tons per day.
The overall objective is to optimize value created from waste by capitalizing on opportunities from Prime Infra’s complementary sustainable fuels business.
