PRIME Integrated Waste Solutions Inc. (PWS) inaugurated on January 29 its automated Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Cebu that uses state-of-the-art equipment for waste segregation and storage — a first in the Philippines.
PWS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Prime Infra, was established in response to the increasing demand for proper waste management and resource recovery solutions in industrialized and fast-growing cities in the Philippines.

PWS’ model is based on Prime Infra’s overall objective to convert recovered resources into sustainable fuels.
DENR Secretary Ma. Antonia “Toni” Yulo-Loyzaga lauded PWS for the “social impact of this transition in solid waste management technology” by incorporating the informal waste picker sector into the process.
PWS Chairman Katrina Razon said the “state-of-the-art MRF embodies innovation, and our commitment to building a regenerative future.”
PWS procured equipment from Europe and Asia, such as vibrating sieves, baler systems, magnetic separators, as well as air density separator to maximize resource recovery leading to landfill avoidance, thus preventing over 15,000 tons of methane emissions per annum.
PWS is also expanding its operations by developing other facilities across the country.
