Executive Summary The Green Framework of Innovative Strategy for Sustainable Consumption and Production

(GFIS) is a partnership project of the Environmental Management Bureau of the Department

of Environment and Natural Resources (EMB – DENR) and the International Center for

Environmental Technology Transfer (ICETT), under the guidance of the Ministry of

Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), Japan. The project, which has been implemented from

June 2007 to March 2008, aims to strengthen the implementation of environmental programs

in the Philippines through training and technology transfer. It seeks to improve the

performance of industries in the area of cleaner production (CP) and energy efficiency (EE)

towards the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

The implementation of the project has been focused primarily in Region 3, one of the most

highly urbanized regions in the country, where numerous small and medium enterprises

(SMEs) are located and therefore has the potential to generate a lot of waste and pollutants to

the environment. Fifteen (pilot) industries from different sectors namely: livestock, meat

processing, textile, power, pulp and paper, feed mill and others (tire manufacturing company)

have been selected to implement measures and activities geared towards cleaner production

and energy efficiency.

A series of workshops were conducted to provide information, training and guidance for the

industries throughout the project. The assistance of ICETT Japanese and local experts, and

the sharing of experiences among participants, enabled the industries to generate individual

action plans which served as the basis for the project monitoring from September 2007 to

January 2008.

A mid-evaluation of the project was conducted and a presentation of the project’s initial

results/ outputs including issues, concerns, and difficulties encountered during the project

implementation took place last November 2007 in the presence of the ICETT – METI

counterparts at the Richmonde Hotel. Only few issues and concerns were identified by the

industries. These were top management commitment to take the risk of implementing

activities that will generate savings, lack of measuring equipment to compute for the savings

and timing of the pilot implementation (June 2007), which does not coincide with planning

and budget approvals (December 2006) of the companies. Despite the mentioned difficulties,

initial outcomes for the industries were already rewarding. Three industries namely,

Pampanga’s Best (meat processing), Villa Aida Farm (livestock), and Rural Industrial

Corporation (pulp and paper) were made to present their activities and savings from power,

water, fuel and waste management.

For a limited period of six months (August 2007 – January 2008), the fifteen industries were

able to generate a remarkable savings of Php 19 million with an equivalent carbon dioxide

emission of 2,050,873.99 kg. It should be noted that the savings generated by some of the

companies were not actualized for a full period of six months. Some of the companies only

purchased measuring equipments after the first workshop and some savings were only made

during the months of October to January. The savings were generated from power, water, fuel

and waste management practices. The activities undertaken involved the implementation of

high-end technologies such as the use of economizers (heat recovery equipment), practical

and low cost measures, and simple good housekeeping.

The presentation of the final outcomes of the project, industry activities and the

corresponding savings were witnessed through a dissemination workshop by the highest local

government official in Region 3 Governor Eddie Panlilio; Angeles Councilor Ricardo

Zalamea; DENR top executives Regional Executive Director Regidor de Leon and EMB

Director Julian Amador; industry sectors’ Chief Executives, pollution control officers and

participants.

The project is a success and a rewarding achievement not only for EMB and ICETT, but also

for Region 3 as a whole. The direct beneficiaries are both the industries and the government.

The project has provided industries of savings and income, the government of improved

environmental performance of industries, and the public of safety, health and conserved

resources. The project can be expanded further to other industry sectors in Region 3 like

cement, sugar mills, etc., and other sectors like tanneries, which has been pinpointed as one of

the main sources of pollution in the Marilao River, a critical concern in the country today.

Furthermore, the project can be replicated in other regions, as it was initially presented to

Region 4 last February 2008. From the industry sector, CP and EE programs can be extended

to the local communities, up to the barangay level towards the establishment of an “ecoville”,

where all stakeholders in a community – government, industry or business group, non-

government, academe, and communities are working together to create a community that is

environment – friendly.

On the part of the EMB, it should not be strictly regulatory but should work together with the

industries and continue to provide technical assistance for the industries’ continuing enhanced

environmental performance. As for ICETT, aside from the financial assistance, it will be most

beneficial to provide more capacity trainings – to enhance the understanding of CP and EE

programs, environmental technologies and counter measures, site visits or exposure trips to

“ecotowns” or “ecovilles” in Japan to deepen the understanding of this concept for the

involved industries and government personnel.

I. Introduction

The International Center for Environmental Technology Transfer under the guidance of the

Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), partnered with DENR-EMB to implement the

project Green Framework of Innovative Strategy (GFIS) for Sustainable Consumption and

Production. The project aims to improve environmental (energy) performance of industries in the

Philippines, particularly in Region 3, and implement cleaner production and energy efficiency

towards the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2). Moreover, the project aims to provide

policy recommendations to help strengthen and further develop environmental management in

the Philippines.

The ICETT-METI project assistance is an eight-month project expected to produce and

implement industry action plans for a short term and long term period. The long term objective

of the project is to be able to replicate the cleaner production (CP) and energy efficient (EE)

efforts in an area in Region 3 for the establishment of an “ecoville”. The concept of an ecoville is

focused on creating a built up comprehensive system that is in harmony with the environment –

bringing together industries, national and local governments, the community and other

stakeholders to adopt ways and approaches focused on energy conservation, material

development and integrated waste management.

In view of this, fifteen voluntary companies have partaken in the project. ICETT and EMB have

provided the necessary technical assistance and monitoring to help the industries improve their

performances in the areas of cleaner production and energy efficiency.

A series of workshops have been conducted for the implementation of the project. The first

workshop has been conducted to build awareness and capacity building to EMB regional

personnel and industries. A dissemination workshop has also been carried out to assess the

efforts undertaken by industries during the 5-month implementation of their respective action

plans, as well as to present success stories and lessons learned during the period. Supplementary

workshops have been provided to supply more information that may help and guide the

industries throughout the project. For dissemination purposes, a webpage for ICETT-EMB has

been developed and updates on the project have been published in newspapers.

The first workshop was a 3-day seminar-workshop held at the Subic International Hotel last

August 7 – 9, 2007. It was conducted to present and discuss the status and issues of selected

industries from the meat processing, power, pulp and paper, livestock and textile sectors in Region 3.

Technologies such as biogas/ CIGAR, and other measures to implement cleaner technology and

energy efficiency were presented and discussed with the help of local and ICETT experts.

The final dissemination workshop, on the other hand, was held at the Stotsenberg Hotel, Clark

Pampanga last February 15, 2008. Each of the participating industries was given the chance to share

their respective accomplishments and energy savings throughout the project. Honorable guests

Pampanga Governor Eddie Panlilio, Angeles Mayor Francis Nepomuceno, Angeles Councilor

Ricardo Zalamea and Regional Executive Director Regidor de Leon, EMB central and regional

officials and some of the chief executives of the participating industries were present to witness the

successful event.

Evidently, The ICETT program opened a gateway for industries to interrelate, improve and suggest

ways to save and use energy efficiently. In doing so, this enabled industries to minimize the cost of

production without compromising the quality of its products and services.

It is composed of six (6) provinces namely: Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac

and Zambales; and has twelve (12) cities: Balanga in Bataan; Cabanatuan, Gapan, Muñoz,

Palayan and San Jose in Nueva Ecija; Olongapo in Zambales; Angeles and San Fernando in

Pampanga; San Jose del Monte and Malolos in Bulacan and Tarlac City in Tarlac.

Region 3 is bestowed with a combination of towering mountains, extinct and active

volcanoes, lush verdant farmlands, and natrual sea harbors. As of May 2000, Region III has

been included in the list of top 3 regions having the highest population, contributing to

almost 10% or 8,204,742 of the 76.5 million total population of the country.

B. Economic

Central Luzon is one of the most dynamic and aggressive regions in the country, traditionally

known as the rice bowl of the Philippines. It harbors the largest plain and produces most of

the rice supply in the country. It is the third biggest region and serves as a major industrial

and agricultural center just north of Metro-Manila. It may well be considered as one of the

leading growth regions in the Philippines, which is primarily attributed to its location —

being strategically located between the commercial center of Manila and the industrial and

trading centers of Northern Luzon.

With the opening of various investment opportunities in Economic Zones in Clarkfield and

Subic Bay Area, Region III is now termed as the W-Growth Corridor due to the

industrialization of many areas in the region.

With its proximity to Manila, Region 3 houses 17 PEZA registered locations spread over the

region and caters to various industries like semiconductors, automotive spare parts,

electronics, garments, footwear, sporting goods, wearing apparel, textile, leather products,

and etc. Central Luzon ranks third in the number of manufacturing establishments and

households. It is also the third highest contributor to the country’s income from

manufacturing and agricultural sectors and other economic activities. Region III contributes

to 23% of the national rice production and 16 % of the total swine production in the country.

According to DOE’s PEP, a 50-MW resource potential in Carranglan, Nueva Ecija is being

considered under the Wind Investment Promotion Round.

2. Energy Demand

The average share of the region is 8.9 percent of the country’s total energy demand.

Petroleum products dominate the region’s fuel requirements, accounting for more than 60

percent of the total requirement.

The industrial sector of Region 3 has an estimated average energy consumption of 3.9

million barrels of fuel equivalent (MMBFOE) or 0.6 metric tons of energy (MTOE),

accounting for 21.6 percent of the total requirement of the region. Coal, diesel and fuel oil

are the most utilized fuels in the sector.

According to DOE’s 2006 Power Development Plan (PDP 2006), it has been projected that

“A total of 1,989 MW of new generating capacities are still required in the Luzon grid (of

which includes Region 3), 38.3 MW are committed power projects and 1,950 MW are

indicative power projects. Of these, 150 MW peaking plant will be required in 2010 and an

additional 450 MW peaking and mid-range power plants by 2011. For the succeeding years,

450 MW peaking and mid-range power plants in 2012, 600 MW midrange power plant in

2013 and 300 MW midrange power plant in 2014. The following capacity requirements will

be needed to provide new additional power sources. However, if no additional capacity is

III. Environment Quality

Region 3 is one of the most critical regions in terms of environmental concerns primarily

because of the sprawling number of industries and settlements without the necessary land use

and environmental planning.

A. Water Quality

• Central Luzon is one of the four urban critical regions in terms of water quality and

quantity.

• Of the 40 rivers surveyed in Central Luzon, 5 are biologically dead. These dead rivers are

the Balagtas, Bocauc, Guiguinto, Marilao and Meycauayan rivers, all in Bulacan. In

Pampanga, San Fernando river in Bacolor has been declared heavily polluted

• Industrial wastes account for about 48% of the total pollution load of rivers and creeks

• 51% of the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) loading is generated by domestic

sources, 14% by the industrial sector, and 35% by the agricultural sector

• As of 2006, there are about 317 firms with pollution control devices that have permits to

discharge. The number of firms lessened from previous years because many of these

firms have been given a 5 year permit to discharge. Pollution control devices may vary

from simple pH adjustment of acid waste, to coagulation flocculation of textiles, to

biological treatment of food and human waste, to complex lead recovery in a battery

manufacturer, to chromium, mercury and zinc treatment in a semiconductor industry.

B. Air Quality

• There are about 514, 567 registered motor vehicles in the region, all contributing to air

pollution.

• As of 2006, there are about 584 firms that have pollution control devices that have

permits to operate. Pollution control devices may vary from a simple bag house filter in a

furniture maker, to a wet scrubber in a boiler or generator set, to an electrostatic

precipitator in a cement kiln.

Page 20: Green Framework of Innovative Strategy (GFIS) for ...

GFIS Report

ICETT-EMB

20

C. Solid Waste

• The average garbage generation in Region III is placed at 0.5 kilo per day per person, or

about 3, 500 tons daily. 70% is attributed to domestic waste, while the remaining 30% is

attributed to industries.

• Out of the estimated 6, 000 tons of garbage generated in Metro Manila, about 2, 700

reach the Manila Bay area, affecting marginalized fishermen in the provinces of Bataan,

Bulacan, and Pampanga.

D. Environment Related Issues

• There are about 11, 600 manufacturing firms, business establishments and power plants

in Central Luzon, all potential sources of environmental pollution.

• Industrial and commercial operations in the region are heavily dependent on fossil fuel

which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions

• Many of the establishments have no adequate air and water pollution control facilities

• Complaints on livestock and agri-based operations have been a major concern of EMB

Region 3

• Small-scale business establishments like piggery farms cannot afford the construction of

state of the art pollution control facilities and other environmental mitigating measures

• Only 3% or 21 out of 623 piggery farms in the region have adopted the biogas

technology in their operations to convert methane gas into energy.

• With carbon dioxide being the culprit in the global rise of temperature, it is estimated that

37 coastal towns in the province of Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Pampanga, and Zambales

will be affected by permanent flooding by 2030 if the annual temperature change is not

monitored.

IV. Sectoral Assessment of Industries

Background

During the 3-day workshop in Subic, the industries were made to prepare initial action plans

by identifying specific problems and discussing solutions and measurable aspects. Included

in the action plans were activities that they acquired from the two (2) site visits in Yokohama

Tire Phils. Inc. and San Miguel Corporation – San Fernando Brewery Plant as part of the

workshop activities.

After which, industries were required to revise the initial action plans to reflect targets for

short and long term periods, and the corresponding savings related to cleaner production and

energy efficiency towards CO2 reduction. These finalized action plans (refer to annex B for

the final action plan of industries) served as references for the assessment and

recommendation of both the industry sectors and individual companies. For the sectoral

assessment, common problems were identified per sector and appropriate energy efficient

options and recommendations were provided.

A. Assessment and Recommendations Per Sector

1. Livestock Sector

Problems (Findings/ Wastes)

Benefits

EE Options (Action Plans)

Responsible Person/ Organization

Poor WWT facilities

Compliance with gov’t regulation

Short Term (<6 mos) – 1. Stop gap measures by constructing

additional ponds and fill in with fresh waste water.

2. Sun dry the filled ponds and use the dried sludge as soil conditioner.

LongTerm (>6 mos) Consider the use of methane gas generators to lower pollutant level to 80% reduction and setting up WWTF to regulate effluent passing discharge.

Higher Management and PCO should be involved so that both can decisively provide a solution to this perennial problem.

Bad Odor Minimize neighbor complaints

Short Term (<6 mos) – 1. follow the above short term plan to

minimize bad odor emission LongTerm (>6 mos) Planting trees is a long term plan due to the length of the growing process

All of the above involves cost and decision should always come from top management.

General Assessment: It is suggested that the piggeries should consider to put up a cheaper

version of an anaerobic digester which is available in the market. The Department of Science

and Technology has a roster of local inventors who can help on this matter for a minimal fee.

This is to primarily lessen the pollution load to be able to discharge sewer at a maximum of

60% and also to recover methane gas as its by-product. Odor from piggeries may be caused

by improper disposal of waste and open pits that emit unpleasant odor.

V. Accomplishments

A. Project Monitoring

Based on the approved individual action plans (refer to annex A), companies were monitored

monthly from September 2007 to January 2008. The monitoring, which was carried out by

the ICETT technical working group (TWG) and from time to time, the ICETT Japanese and

local experts, was focused primarily on the implementation of activities in the action plan

regarding the reduction of energy, water and fuel consumption, and also on waste

management practices. During the duration of the project monitoring, the ICETT TWG

together with the local consultant, oversaw the industries’ activities and guided each industry

by providing comments and recommendations on how to better improve and execute their

respective action plans.

A mid-assessment of the project was undertaken on November 2007 by ICETT-METI, Japan.

A presentation in Richmonde Hotel for the ICETT – METI counterparts was held to recount

initial results/ outputs of the project, including issues, concerns, and difficulties encountered

during the project implementation. Only a few issues and concerns were identified. Despite

some difficulties, initial outcomes for industries were already rewarding. Three industries

were made to present their activities and savings generated from power, water and fuel and

waste management practices – these were Pampanga’s Best (meat processing), Villa Aida

Farm (livestock) and Rural Industrial Corporation (pulp and paper).

Monthly monitoring reports of the industries were submitted by the ICETT TWG, which

included the reported savings of the industries. These savings were consolidated at the end of

the monitoring period and the corresponding CO2 emission reductions were calculated.

B. Project Activities

Industries were guided and monitored monthly by the ICETT technical working group based

on their individual action plans. Within a short period of time, various activities (refer to

Annex B for pictures) were undertaken, focusing on the sectoral problems identified in the

local experts, ICETT technical working group, and also through their own innovative

methods. A remarkable aspect of the project is that a significant part of the savings was due

to the implementation and observance of good housekeeping. This merely involves repair and

preventive maintenance activities, waste segregation, training and awareness and other simple

measures. Table 5 shows the consolidated classifications of the measures implemented by the

participating industries.

C. Project Savings and CO2 Emission Reduction A remarkable savings of 19 million pesos (refer to Table 6) with an equivalent carbon

dioxide emission reduction of 2,050,873.99 kilograms were generated by the 15 pilot

industries for a short period of six months (August 2007 – January 2008). There were also

reported savings amounting to Php 907,000 acquired from waste management practices in

terms of chemicals and sales of recyclable materials for the same period, but only from three

industries (Mekeni Food Corp., Pampanga’s Best and Vitarich Corp.).

It is notable that the savings made by some of the industries were obtained from October

2007 to January 2008 since some of the industries acquired measuring equipments only after

the first workshop. These savings were actualized through power, water, fuel and waste

management practices. The activities undertaken involved the implementation of high-end

technologies such as the use of an economizer (heat recovery equipment), simple, practical

and low cost measures, and through mere good housekeeping.

VI. Assessment of Individual Companies Livestock 1. Villa Aida Farm The company is in the piggery sector and was able to present activity programs that can be

met in a period of six months. (e.g. minimizing water usage, repair and maintenance) The company reported savings of Php 31,215.95 equivalent to CO2 emission reduction of

1,324 kg. The savings were generated from the piggery farm through simple measures such

as building pig wallows instead of daily washing the pigs, and good housekeeping such as

repair and maintenance of all leaking water pipes, replacement of corroded G.I. pipes and

repair of roofs. The proposed projects of Villa Aida which are putting up an anaerobic digester and biogas

system are worth pursuing to entail much savings on power and ensure compliance to DENR

standards. It should be noted, however, that recycling of effluent from piggeries should be

taken into caution as this may carry other diseases. It is suggested that simple measures learned from the ICETT project should also be applied to

its poultry farm.

2. Well Breed Farm, Inc. The piggery company was able to identify activity programs, which have been workable

within the 6 month period of the project. The company reported power savings of Php 23,814.00 equivalent to CO2 emission reduction

of 1,462.86 kg. The savings generated were mostly from the adherence of good

housekeeping such as repair of sprayers, repair or innovation of old feeders and shifting to

lower wattage of lights. The installation of skylights and use of spade for collecting pig

manure also saved on power and water consumption.

3. R.A. Villa Farm

The farm reported savings of Php 1,972.11 on power. The reason behind this is that the farm

suffered from the dreaded disease that affected most of the farms in the region. It is suggested

Page 35: Green Framework of Innovative Strategy (GFIS) for ...

GFIS Report

ICETT-EMB

35

that the company continue to find ways of saving not only from power but as well as from

water. The company’s continuous process of solid - liquid separation is a good step to lessen

the pollutant level of water which is used in the rice paddies. One can immediately notice the

difference in the lushly green color of the planted rice owned by the company. This is due to

the nutrient content of waste water coming from the piggery farm. However, volume of

application in the rice paddies should be regularly consulted to proper authorities. It is suggested that the company should continue to undertake every possible program that

they can adapt from the experience of fellow ICETT colleagues such as the establishment of

pig wallows, and light reflectors, etc The segregation of hazardous wastes and other saleable solid wastes should be given

consideration. Benefits of generating cash flow and following the regulations may provide

positive encouragement to workers and at the same time enable the company to comply with

the law. Construction of new settling ponds for its wastewater should likewise be given

consideration. This will benefit strict compliance to regulation but odor will remain a

problem as wastewater ponds create septicity that produces the obnoxious odor. Meat Processing

4. Mekeni Food Corporation The company identified problems on high power, water, and fuel consumption, and waste

water treatment plant odor. After the six month period, the company reported savings of a total of Php 2,882,256.60 for

water, power and fuel. This is equivalent to a total carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reduction

of 184,363.39 kg. The savings from water involved activities such as the improvement of water suction for

power sprays, which are used for cleaning plastic trays. The company also made use of

improvised water saving devices from 500 ml. plastic water bottles filled with stones and

placed it in the toilet tanks to reduce water consumption. The savings from power involved activities such as lowering the thermostat setting of air

conditioners from 18˚C to 22˚C, turning off the aircon 30 minutes before leaving the office,

Page 36: Green Framework of Innovative Strategy (GFIS) for ...

GFIS Report

ICETT-EMB

36

minimizing frequent entrance in the cold room of the production area thereby reducing heat

load, and optimizing operation of machines. The fuel cost savings were attributed to activities such as the repair of leaks from the stream

line and regular monitoring of boiler combustion, which if not properly adjusted to

appropriate burning requirement will only consume more fuel and will result to a longer

cooking time. Moreover, the monitoring of the feed water system, which collects deposits

from hardness of water, enabled the reduction of heat transfer in the process. It is suggested that the programs implemented by the company be continued to sustain its

savings. The company should also pursue future projects contained in the action plan to

further reduce emission of CO2. 5. Mother Earth Products, Inc. The company is a slaughter house and a meat processing industry. To be able to mitigate its

waste water production, the company put up an anaerobic treatment facility to produce

methane gas that they subsequently use for cooking. MEPI reported savings of Php 233,443.00 with an equivalent CO2 emission reduction of

14,212.50 kg. This can be attributed primarily to the reduction on power and fuel savings.

The lack of water meters at strategic points prevented the industry from reporting savings on

water. It is suggested to extend the anaerobic treatment system to be able to provide passing effluent

for recycling, as well as compliance to DENR standards. To fully maximize the methane gas

produced, regular recording should be done, there should be trial and error, volume of input

vis-à-vis output, adjustment of the variable controlling the boiler to achieve expected output,

and to wrap insulators around the pipes to retain the heat.

6. Pampanga’s Best

Through the activities implemented under the project, the company obtained a total savings

of Php 1,694,216.00 on power and fuel, which is equivalent to a reduced CO2 emission of

78,443.79 kg.

Page 37: Green Framework of Innovative Strategy (GFIS) for ...

GFIS Report

ICETT-EMB

37

The company’s practice of good housekeeping involved sweeping rather than washing solid

materials which saved them water while minimizing the pollutant level going to the waste

water treatment facility. They likewise used shutoff nozzles for water hoses, which before

were left running when not in used. The savings on fuel can be attributed to the insulation of heating and cooling systems and the

optimization of the combustion efficiency of boilers. The power savings resulted from the maintenance of leak free compressed air systems and the

replacement of metal halide lamps in the perimeter wall. One power saving measure that

contributed to the company’s dramatic decrease in power consumption was the reduction of

working schedule from 6 to 5 days where quality and quantity of production is maintained. It is suggested to study the use of an economizer to pre-heat the incoming water in the boiler.

Since the boiler is new, the water treatment process should be properly maintained to avoid

the build up of calcium deposits that will lessen heat transfer, whereby more fuel will be

consumed.

Textile 7. Best Print Textile Finishing Corporation The company is engaged in wholesale trading of printed fabrics purchased from local textile

companies. By joining the ICETT project, the company was able to report a total savings of

Php 2,435,215.00, which is equivalent to 928,659.07 kg. of CO2 emission reduction. Aside

from the savings on power, fuel is the major contributor in the mentioned figures.

Considering the country’s present situation in oil and fuel, the program instituted should be

continued and the company should find additional ways to save more fuel and power Additionally, the effluent should be recycled continuously for different purposes like cooling

tower water, flushing toilets, and watering the lawn if volume cannot be minimized, but

quality should be maintained at DENR Class C standards.

8. Indophil Textile Indophil is an Indian – Filipino joint venture company. It is the largest yarn producer in the

country with a capacity of 92,000 spindles, 75% of which are exported. Indophil has its own

24.8 MW power plant to sustain its production without interruption.

Page 38: Green Framework of Innovative Strategy (GFIS) for ...

GFIS Report

ICETT-EMB

38

Being an ISO 14000 certified company, Indophil has already instituted activities that generate

savings even before joining the ICETT project. The company’s rainwater harvesting project

is worth mentioning to other companies who have the same cooling requirement. After the six month program, Indophil reported a total savings of Php 1,870,324.00 and CO2

emission reduction of 122,881.40 kg. This can be attributed to the additional process and

equipment modification in certain parts of the plant such as the installation of capacitors to

improve the power factor, replacement of 40W ballasts to 36W, and centralization in the use

of compressors. It is suggested to use water softeners which help in the thermal efficiency of boilers. It will

lessen fuel costs but it will require a long period of time exceeding the 6 month program.

Indophil may study further the use of other technologies available on filtration of heavy fuel

oil in the power plant, as the company produces large quantities of sludge oil. As reported, it

is sold to other companies and therefore generates the company extra income. However, it is

still best for the company to try to lessen its waste production. The price of one liter of

recovered waste oil is higher than the cost of selling it to other companies. Alternative fuels other than bunker are costly like low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO) but it can reduce

much of the emission of pollutants like SO2 and particulate matter. If volume of the cooling

water discharge is large enough to suffice flushing toilets then it is also suggested that the

company find a way to utilize it. Power

9. Angeles Power Incorporated The company was not able to present any savings for the 6 month duration of the project due

to the following reasons: big investment requirement for the proposed activities, approval of

the board, and timing of the revision. There were some savings from water and activities

undertaken but the company failed to install measuring devices such as flow meters to

strategic points. Proposed projects include the acquisition of fuel injector and fuel nozzle

calibration tools, and most importantly the proposal to adopt an environmental management

system (EMS).

Page 39: Green Framework of Innovative Strategy (GFIS) for ...

GFIS Report

ICETT-EMB

39

It is suggested that savings be reported when the proposed projects are undertaken so that the

company will also serve as a model to the other companies succeeding the project. Although

the proposed projects are initially capital intensive, expected savings from power will be

high, hence, the period of the return of investment (ROI) will be short.

10. Feedworld Incorporated The company produces poultry and cattle feed, and lately has invested on an extrusion plant

that produces feeds for fish. After joining the ICETT project, the company reported a total savings of Php 291,893.17,

equivalent to CO2 emission reduction of 12,513.00 kg. It is suggested to replace the pipes of the steam receiving tank, which failed the DENR

standards for releasing effluent at high temperature, in such a way that the hot water

distribution and effluent releasing pipes will be on top of the tank. Skylights can be installed

in the warehouses to lessen usage of fluorescent lights. Installation of economizer is a better

option than a day tank because ROI is only four months based on the savings to be generated

as experienced by Yokohama.

11. Vitarich Corporation Of all the participants in the ICETT program, Vitarich has the highest savings. After the six

month period, the company was able to save Php 4,200,000.00 and produce an equivalent

CO2 emission reduction of 156, 540.14 kg. This can be attributed to the process modification

through sequencing of motors and equipment operations like surge bin, feeder, conditioner,

extruder, cutter, pneumatic conveyor, spreader, and etc. It is suggested that Vitarich be one of the resource speakers in the future capacity trainings of

ICETT to set an example to other industries. With regards to the rice hull ashes, it is

suggested to offer it to other companies or LGUs as fertilizers

Pulp and Paper 12. Fibre Sorting Inc. The company is situated inside the TIPCO industrial ecozone and is an ISO 14000 certified

company. It manufactures and sells premium and standard types of corrugating medium and

chipboards. After joining ICETT, the company reported a total savings of Php 883,995.00 and CO2

emission reduction of 76,023.57 kg. Majority of the mentioned figures came from power

saving activities due to the replacement of over capacity motors to sufficient ones. Although,

this may seem a relatively big investment, the ROI is fast. The company should continue its activities and expand further to programs involving water

and fuel reduction. Moreover, since the company has huge warehouses, skylights and

insulators should be considered to save more power.

13. Trust International Paper Company

The company, as it is very well known, is one of the biggest paper companies in the

Philippines. It is one of the leading performers in the newsprint manufacturing industry.

TIPCO’s products are used widely by major newspaper dailies and magazines here and in the

international market. Being ISO 14000 certified, the company has already instituted programs on cleaner

production and energy efficiency even before joining the ICETT project. The reflected

savings from the project is Php 273,073.00, which is equivalent to 23,484.02 kg of CO2. It is suggested that for additional savings, the company should look into the oxygenation

requirement of its huge wastewater treatment plant. TIPCO may consider the use of a blower

system instead of the mechanical aeration system that it presently utilizes. Although this is

initially capital intensive, the return of investment (ROI) will be short due to the expected

savings on power.

Rural Industrial Corporation

The company is engaged in paper manufacturing and produces white bond paper, newsprint,

and kraft paper among others. Joining the ICETT provided them additional information on

how to save power, water and fuel. This enabled the industry to yield a total savings of Php

1,036,112.20, which is equivalent to CO2 emission reduction of 106,036.33 kg. Upon the installation of a water meter, the company was able to realize the significant

difference in implementing the activities for the project. The steam wastage and condensate

correction gave the company big savings for both water and fuel. It also addressed the issue

on the loss of heat due to leakages. However, it is suggested to clad the steam pipelines as to

keep the heat at a constant temperature and at the same time, save fuel.

Others

15. Yokohama Tire Philippines, Incorporated

As an ISO 14000 certified company, the YTPI can be considered one of the model companies

in the ICETT program. The company complies with all environmental requirements and

implements a remarkable environmental management system. The modification of the process in the company’s boiler system, which was one of its major

activities in the program, resulted in a total savings of Php 3,268,800.00. This is equivalent to

a reduction of 343,324.8 kg in CO2 emission. The installation of an economizer which was

purchased at a cost of Php 2.7 million proved to be cost effective for it was recovered in four

months time. The company should continue its outreach program on recycling, tree planting, and

environmental knowledge sharing.

VII. Conclusion and Recommendation

A. Learnings /Successful achievements/ Difficulties encountered

The project is a success, as it generated savings worth Php 19 million for the industries in

a short period of implementation. Seven out of fifteen, saved more than a million pesos

for a period of 5 months, majority of the companies participated or 87% made savings

either on fuel, water or power. These companies can attest to the success of the project.

Aside from fuel, water and power, savings amounting to Php 907,000 was generated from

wastes (chemicals and recyclable materials). These additional savings from wastes were

reported by three (Vitarich, Mekeni and Pampanga’s Best) out of the 15 participating

companies, which only means that the savings from waste could be more if all companies

accounted its savings. However, since the project concentrated on CO2 emission

reduction and not methane, which is also a greenhouse gas, the companies reported the

activities on waste management but did not compute for the savings from waste as part of

the project. There are also notable activities such as repair of infrastructures, tree planting,

scraps collection, which are part of the overall environmental management of the

companies and some can also contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.

With regards to difficulties encountered, only a few can be mentioned: the lack of

measuring equipments for the savings, and the timing of the project implementation (June

2007) which did not coincide with the planning and budget approvals (December 2006).

The timing of the project appeared to be a constraint on the part of the management since

some activities have already been prioritized. It is also notable that while few were

hesitant to make adjustments, most of the companies implemented their respective action

plans generated from the Subic Workshop. The results of the activities to the industries

have been remarkable. For instance, Yokohama installed the economizer, a heat saving

equipment which was initially capital intensive but with the savings the company has

acquired, the return of investment took only four months; therefore proving it to be cost

effective. With other small companies, most of the measures they implemented were

simple and practical technologies. One example is Well Breed Farm’s modification of

feeding containers and the mere transferring of pipe connections to save water. Even the

big companies were able to learn from small companies. Measures like utilizing P.E.T.

bottles as water saving devices in toilet flush tanks, or installing light reflectors instead of

using much lighting, can make a significant difference in the performance of industries.

One of the significant realizations in this project is that simple activities such as good

housekeeping, reuse and recycling, and equipment modification can make a substantial

difference in the overall performance of an industry. Attention to small but important

details such as repairing leakages in pipes, replacing 40W ballasts with 36W ballasts, and

segregating and selling wastes, which are usually overlooked by top management, can

make a significant difference. Not only does it promote a good working environment, but

it also improves the industries’ production and efficiency and most importantly, it reduces

costs on energy. The most remarkable aspect of this is that while improving the

industries’ overall performance and generating profit from it, the industries are able to

promote environmental management through the reduction of CO2 emissions.

B. Replication/ Expansion of the Project

The success of the project is a remarkable feat worth replicating. This can be continued

and expanded further to include other companies or industry sectors in Region 3 like

cement, sugar mills, etc., or the tannery sector which has been pinpointed as main sources

of pollution in the Marilao river, a critical concern of our country today. The coverage

can also expand outside Region 3. The learning from the project and experiences of 15

pilot industries will be a useful guide in rendering the best results. Commitment of the

companies is an important factor to consider in the selection of industries. The huge

savings of the pilot industries can greatly influence and motivate other industries to join

the program. Pilot industries can serve as resource persons to involve more industry

sectors. The best way to encourage other sectors is to share first hand information. Field

visits to companies willing to join the program may also be conducted. Continuing

consultations and communications, sharing of experiences are also helpful in producing

good results.

This time, replication of the project is easier considering that there are already documents

of the project that can serve as references. However, the most crucial part of this project

is the continuing implementation of the pilot industries’ respective CP and EE activities.

With the great gains the companies have made from the project, it is highly beneficial for

them to sustain their activities/program. Likewise, there is already an EMB-ICETT

website that was developed for the project for the continuing updating and

communication of industry sectors.

C. Sustainability of the Project

Sustainability of these companies can be best assured by continuing the support given by

ICETT and EMB. Monitoring of accomplishments and providing continuous technical

assistance are also important factors in the success of a program. Dissemination of the

success stories through workshops will facilitate replication and implementation of this

kind of program to other industrial sectors. From the industry sector, the project may

further be extended to communities towards the establishment of an “ecoville” or “eco-

town”. In Japan, the concept of an “ecoville” is a built up comprehensive system that is in

harmony with the environment – bringing together industries, national and local

governments, the community and other stakeholders to adopt ways and approaches

focused on energy conservation, material development and integrated waste management.

(Eco-Towns in Japan, GEC, 1995).

D. Future Assistance from the EMB and ICETT

On the part of EMB, continuous technical assistance should be provided, particularly in

the sustainability/replication of the project to the other industry sectors or other regions.

ICETT, on the other hand, may provide financial support in the replication of the project

in other individual sectors or regions, or in the establishment of an “ecoville” in Region 3.

Strategies used in the GFIS project by ICETT and EMB can be applied. Further, there

should be regular updating on current/ new technologies/trainings that might be

applicable to the industry even after ICETT assistance. The website developed of the

project can be used for this purpose. Based on the training requirement survey of the

involved industries capacity trainings on the following are needed from ICETT: capacity

trainings on successful technologies in Japan applicable to Philippine setting, equipments

that help reduce steam, power, and water usage while reducing the wastes generated, zero

emission system, renewable forms of energy, process/design of renewable energy, heat

recovery, etc., clean development scheme for small and medium enterprises, monitoring

of life-cycle process system, and strengthening enforcement of environmental laws. Field

visits and exposure to Japan’s “eco-towns” or ecoville” can also enhance the

understanding and deepen the knowledge of these communities which can be applied to

the Philippine setting.
