The RLC Commercial Centers Division continues its good work in environment conservation by adopting and implementing USAID’s Solid Waste Management model in more mall properties.
Solid Waste Management
How does one solve the challenge of solid waste management? At RLC, we start by understanding the behavior of our different tenants, residents, guests, and customers. If waste cannot be outright eliminated, we have waste segregation and recycling measures in place to help minimize trash.
Our malls and residential buildings promote and implement proper waste segregation. We deployed properly labeled trash bins to different areas in our malls. In our managed residential buildings, we implemented color-coded garbage bins for our tenants to help encourage segregation at the source. We also trained our housekeeping personnel to observe waste segregation when collecting trash. By doing this, It became easier to recycle and more convenient to transport trash to their proper disposal sites. There is also less trash brought to landfills.
