Prime Infra, the infrastructure arm of the Razon Group, is investing in the modernization of a Waste Management company in Cebu City, bringing it at par with world-class Materials Recovery Facilities (MRF) in other developed countries like Singapore.

Prime Integrated Waste Solutions, Inc. (PIWSI), a Prime Infra subsidiary, is set to fully acquire ARN Central Waste Management, Inc. (ACI), which currently receives around 1,000 tons of Cebu province’s municipal solid waste daily.

ACI in Cebu City is the first waste management business that Prime Infra is developing and upgrading. PIWSI is also set to break ground on waste management facilities focusing on resource recovery in other strategic parts of the country within the next two years.

PIWSI aims to immediately address methane emissions, prevent ocean, water, and air pollution through efficient waste management, and enhance the quality of life in surrounding communities by supporting critical infrastructure in Cebu.

“We  are looking forward to working closely with the local government of Cebu City to successfully achieve our strategic objectives and make the city a showcase for waste-to-value initiatives in the country,” said Cara Peralta, Prime Infra’s Market Sector Lead for Waste.

PIWSI and WasteFuel Philippines, another Prime Infra subsidiary, make up the company’s waste business. WasteFuel aims to convert organic waste and agricultural feedstock into fuels such as green methanol and sustainable aviation fuel. WasteFuel is targeting to develop its first biorefinery in Cebu City.
