Zero Waste Philippines, Inc. (ZWPH) is a non-stock, non-profit organization registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is actively involved in the implementation of Republic Act 9003, otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. It strongly advocates the use of local, low cost, low tech and life-sustaining technologies in addressing solid waste disposal iss

ues and concerns. An active proponent of “zero waste lifestyle for sustainable communities”, it pursues the reduction of wastes, encourages maximum recovery and cost-efficient use of resources, and endeavors to push for a more meaningful involvement and commitment of all concerned government agencies, waste producers and generators at all levels. It was sometime in 1969 that the “zero waste lifestyle for sustainable communities” as a vision, was initiated and trail-blazed by Ms. Sabas, ZWPH Founder, Chairperson Emeritus. The collective experiences of the members of the ZWPH in collaboration with the academe, school, national government agencies, local government units, communities, civil societies, etc., through the years, greatly contributed to the consequent drafting and approval in to law of various environment related laws including Republic Act 9003. ZWPH believes that the key to the realization of a “zero waste lifestyles for sustainable communities” is dependent upon a strong political will, active and compassionate involvement and participation of the various waste generators and producers in the strict and sustained implementation of Republic Act 9003 and other environmental protection law.

PRESS RELEASE | EcoWaste Coalition to 2026 Lenten Pilgrims: Leave Only Footprints, Not Litter

---

The EcoWaste Coalition, an advocate for environmental protection and sustainability, called on the faithful to honor Holy Week by embracing their role as stewards of Mother Earth, avoiding acts that degrade and damage the planet, such as littering.

Following the environmental- and social justice-themed Via Crucis it co-organized on Holy Tuesday with its community and church partners in Tondo, Manila, the group will send Basura Patrollers to some pilgrimage sites on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday to observe practices that protect or harm the environment.

Lenten visitors are advised not to leave any litter behind as they visit churches and religious sites to reflect, pray, and find spiritual renewal. “Pilgrimage sites are not dumpsites,” the EcoWaste Coalition emphasized.

THIS UNIQUE PHILIPPINE PLANT EATS METAL AND CLEANS SOIL POLLUTANTS

Found only in Luzon, Philippines, Rinorea niccolifera is a rare, metal-eating plant that has the ability to absorb high levels of nickel from the soil. Known as a hyperaccumulator, it can accumulate metals in concentrations far higher than most plants without harm. This unique trait makes it a potential tool for soil rehabilitation and green mining, offering an environmentally friendly way to extract metals and clean contaminated soils. Researchers hope that such plants could revolutionize eco-friendly technologies for soil remediation and mining in the future.

Rest in Eternal peace with our Creator Fr. Pete Montallana 🙏🙏🙏

The Balagbag Environmental Society as one of the group inspired by Father Pete Montallana, join in mourning to his sudden death.

Maraming maraming salamat po father pete sa pagbabahagi ng iyong adbokasiya sa amin. Ang iyong paglisan sa mundo ay malaking kawalan sa pwersa ng mga makakalikasan. Ngunit ang silab na iyong iniwan ay patuloy na magniningas sa aming puso at isasabuhay ang iyong pagmamahal sa kalikasan.

Salamat po sa buhay mo Father :)
