Hugging trees on Valentine’s Day

Tree Hugger 2024
Valentine’s Day 2024 – Spread love! Hug a Tree! Express your love for the environment! Here are some of our employees hugging the oldest tree they can find inside the CEMSI/CPI Treatment Plants. In CEMSI Cavite, employees hug the tallest Narra tree they can find. Its scientific name is Pterocarpus indicus and commonly known as the Rosewood. The tree has been existing even before the construction of the main plant in 2004. In CPI, our Leyte team has chosen the giant Acacia. Also known as the Philippine Wattle, it’s scientific name is Acacia confusa. This is located right in the middle of the 5.5 hectare facility. While in our CEMSI North Plant in Tarlac has chosen to hug the two Lapnis trees or the Broussonetia papyrifera. Commonly known as the Paper Mulberry, this is native to Asia but propagated in the Philippines only in 1935 for reforestation purposes and source of fiber.

Labuyo Creek Maguyam Program of Cleanway

Cleaning-up for the Community

, , , , , ,

Cleanway River Program 2023
Silang, Cavite – November is Environmental Awareness Month! As part of our commitment to the community, Cleanway cleans up Labuyo Creek in Barangay Maguyam, Silang. This body of water traverses the major industrial estates in the locality. In 2019, a trash trap was constructed upstream to manage the solid waste collection. Regular COD and BOD testings are conducted upstream, mid-stream and downstream to monitor the water quality and condition. This year, the company partnered with Rotary E-Club of Edsa Ortigas for the refurbishment of the Trash Trap last July 1, 2023. This device holds up solid waste upstream for easy collection of unwanted wastes from the creek. Rotary provided the Maguyam community with a solution and through the collaboration of private entities, this can replicated in other water streams of the municipality. The project was in coordination with the MENRO of Silang in compliance with DENR directives. Cleanway is a signatory of the Adopt An Estero Program of the DENR-EMB IVA. It received recognition from the regional agency given its commitment and growing partnership with NGOs like the Rotary Club. The company promises to commit itself to the protection of bodies of water and continuously strives to fulfill its pledge to support this worthy cause.

Tagaytay City – Cleanway renewed its commitment with the DENR-EMB’s Adopt-An-Estero Program. After receiving recognition from the regional agency, Cleanway signed another agreement to take care of Labuyo Creek nearest to the main plant in Silang. For several years, the company has been monitoring and cleaning the water body that passes through several industrial sites. Regular water testing is conducted from its upstream, midstream, and downstream points to ensure effluent quality. In 2018, Cleanway installed a trash trap unit between the upstream and midstream sections to monitor alleged illegal waste disposal. Rotary E-Club of Edsa Ortigas refurbished the old device with a stronger material in July 2023. Since then, the creek has sustained its sound maintenance assuring the community of Maguyam of our intention for a cleaner and greener environment, thanks to our Rotary partner. We also thank the Barangay Council for its support of the program and the Local Government of Silang for its stringent monitoring of our water bodies. We hope that all industries will soon be conscious and concerned for our environment. Explore fruitful partnerships for nature!

Cleanway donated hazwaste drums to LGU Silang
Silang, Cavite – In preparation for the coming Philippine Environmental Month this June, Silang will embark in its major waste segregation effort.

These wastes, such as busted light bulbs, batteries and electronic wastes, are usually mixed with ordinary households or solid wastes. Such effort will reduce possible exposure on hazardous wastes and will be collected, transported, treated and disposed in Cleanway’s main plant in Silang. During the turnover, Mayor Kevin Anarna, Sangguniang Bayan Members and Silang MENRO Chief Engr. Rezza Panes received the donation from Cleanway’s representatives.
