By-Product Exchange Program

The Industrial Ecology Module is currently implementing a by-product exchange (BPX) pilot program. This pilot involes 5 industrial estates in the Laguna-Batangas Area: Laguna International Industrial Park (Binan, Laguna), Light Industry Science Park (Cabuyao, Laguna), Laguna Technopark (Sta. Rosa, Laguna), Carmelray Industrial Park (Canlubang, Laguna), and Lima Technology Center (Malvar, Batangas). The BPX program aims to establish a by-product exchange network among the locators of the five participating estates. This will provide companies with the option for managing their waste through waste exchange and opportunities to utilize the waste of other companies as their raw material. The Module conducted an initial survey of materials, energy, and water in the pilot areas with the assistance of the participating estates. More than 70 companies signified their participation by attending the awareness seminar and submitting their completed survey forms to Prime. Companies not included in the pilot area are also enjoined to participate.
