Published December 30, 2020, 4:36 PM The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) revealed Wednesday that it aims to build 300 more sanitary landfills (SLFs) in the country by 2022. DENR Undersecretary Benny Antiporda noted that through a public-private partnership, the move is designed to further improve the country’s management of solid waste materials. “Ambitious as it may seem to be as a target, but we shall aim to establish 300 SLFs by the end of 2022,” said Antiporda. Antiporda noted that SLF remains the primary long-term method of solid waste disposal allowed under Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. The DENR official made the statement during the hybrid consultation meeting with SLF operators, which combined face-to-face and teleconferencing recently.
