With growing population a constant concern, the Baguio local government has decided to put into practice a 10-year plan focused on cutting down waste output by pushing for waste reuse, recycling, and reduction.

 

Baguio General Services Office (GSO) chief Eugene Buyucan said that the city has established a solid waste management plan set to take place throughout the next decade, which aims to cut down the output of the city to 180 tons daily.

While the city already produces around 180 tons of waste daily, projections accounting for population and economic growth show that the city is expected to at least double its waste output by 2034.

 

As such, the GSO is looking to bolster its existing waste reduction programs.

 

These measures include composting and biodegradable landfills, and expanded coverage of recycling initiatives, and cutting down on single-use waste, particularly in the food industry.

 

Other measures include the continuing implementation of the plastic and styrofoam-free Baguio City ordinance, the no-straw policy, and paper recycling and digitalization in offices.
