Cleanaway Philippines Inc. (CPI) Leyte
A new healthcare waste treatment line is planned to be installed in Isabel, Leyte as part of CEMSI’s environmental service expansion in the region. This will have a capacity of 15,000 cu.m per day to handle the disinfection and treatment of all medical related wastes. This facility aims to address the growing healthcare waste problem from Regions VI, VII and VIII.
Two years ago, various medical wastes were indiscriminately disposed in the open archipelagic sea contaminating not just the water but also the valuable aquatic food resource in the region. This new environmental innovation will address the problem of improper hazwaste disposal. Last 2 February 2022, a public scoping activity was held to present the technology with the community stakeholders. It was attended by the representatives from LIDE, Barangay Libertad, the Sanitation Unit, SB Sangguniang Bayan Secretary and MENRO of LGU-Isabel.
Cleanaway Philippines, Inc. (CPI), located in Leyte Industrial Development Estate (LIDE), is a CEMSI affiliate in the Visayas which started its operations in 2013. Similar to the operations in its Cavite and Tarlac plants, the Leyte Plant also operates an integrated waste management system covering transportation, collection, storage, treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes.

One of the top health and safety responsibilities of a company is to prepare for eventualities of fire. It is highly necessary to ensure safety of those in proximity, mitigation of damage or loss in property, as well as the safety and concern for those in nearby surroundings. Fire Prevention is a top priority. Always ready and able, office-based and line crew members of Cleanaway Philippines, Inc. (CPI) underwent a Basic Fire Fighting Orientation and Drill. This was conducted at CPI Plant by the local Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) office from Isabel, Leyte last September 8. Theoretical and practical lessons on fire prevention and mitigation were given as part of their responsibilities inside the plant. Employees participated actively in the workshop provided by the BFP personnel. Congratulations for the active participation of CPI employees! We are proud of you!

Come mid-year, the CEMSI Cavite plant coordinated with the First Philippine Industrial Park in Batangas last June 29 for a donation of more than 200 molave seedlings to be propagated in the premier industrial estate.
