About
Us
Recyclean Foundation,
Inc. is a non-stock, non-profit
organization whose main objective is to utilize waste materials to
manufacture new products and at the same time, educate the public on proper
waste management and to generate livelihood opportunities from
these “trash-to-cash” activities.
Handmade
Paper Products
Among
the projects it has undertaken are handmade paper products like picture
frames, fans, gift bags, jewelry boxes, greeting cards etc.. These items
are made from 100% waste fibers from the paper manufacturing process or
from a mixture of waste fibers and pulp from cogon grass. Dye,
recovered from empty dyestuff containers, is used to add colors to the
products.
Industrial
Products
Recyclean Foundation
is a believer of zero-waste management. Thus when challenged to come up
with ways to utilize waste water treatment sludge, it was able to come
up with hollow blocks with 18% to 20% sludge which are cheaper and
comparable or even better than those in the local market in terms of strength.
It is now helping in the production of cement bonded boards which
are manufactured from paper fiber clay (sludge) and cement.
Recent
Projects
Recently,
it has started doing composting activities after discovering that a company
located near the RFI office is throwing away approximately 500 kilograms
of vegetables scraps on a daily basis. These are now being recovered and
mixed with biodegradable materials from TIPCO and put to good use.
On public
information, it has conducted trainings to cooperatives, housewives and
students. Eventually, they will be tapped to produce some of the products
of the foundation. In addition to lectures and site visits,
Recyclean
Foundation is also co-sponsoring
the weekly radio program “BUKAS Bayan” which is aired every
Saturday, 8:30 to 9:00 am over DWRW 95.1 FM. The program tackles solid
waste management and other environmental issues.
