DAVAO CITY – Building a waste-to-energy facility is a “false” and unsustainable solution to the city’s solid waste problem, a network of environmental groups in Davao City maintained.
It said among the documented adverse effects of dioxins and furans, both highly toxic chemicals and are known endocrine disruptors, include “respiratory, nervous, and reproductive disorders and cancer.” It expressed concern that the unsegregated local wastes could only worsen the problem, considering that those wastes that are of “wet” character with low calorific value and those containing chlorine, could exacerbate the release of toxins and their byproducts.
They said it could even encourage the production of more plastic wastes to keep the facility running, which runs counter to “the recently passed No to Single-Use Plastics Ordinance of Davao City.”
