Philippines Clean Air Act: 1st nation in the world to Ban Incinerators outright!

Environmental organizations, civil-society groups, faith-based institutions, academicians, and community-based organizations are calling on the government for effective and sustainable environmental protection during the anniversary of the passage of the Clean Air Act into law on June 23. The Act bans incinerators for waste disposal, making the Philippines the first nation in the world to ban incinerators outright.
Among their calls is to drop the legalization of garbage incineration in the guise of waste-to-energy plants proposed by Senator Sherwin Gatchalian and instead pass long-term, comprehensive waste management policies and safer practices that would reduce waste.
One solution is Zero-Waste approach, where barangays have managed to reduce and eliminate waste off our streets and even saved millions of pesos while creating jobs. It is a circular system that minimizes unnecessary extraction and consumption, reduces waste, and ensures that products and materials are reused or recycled back into nature or into the market.

Healthier, newer approach for sanitation standards while ensuring energy security and abundance and being eco friendly as well as implemented by the Philippine Government in both rural and urban areas.

Japan has an incinerator with high tech ideas where it scrubs away toxic materials and only water steam comes out of its long, long stack. By the time it reaches the air, it’s all H2O. The Philippine way of creating mountains of garbage produces methane that is more harmful to the possibility of an odorless, clear air output incinerator, plus it creates electricity for the city to use. I understand people to to the garbage mountain to recycle. That needs not be eliminated. Maybe it’s left over can be burned intelligently, reuse to crate electricity, too.

The newer and healthier approach of cleaner and healthier air, from incinerators that are designed to remove the carbon monoxides and harmful substances, as CHUWASTAR of China Japan are capable of while harnessing energy, since landfilling are BAN in most countries, due to the harmful effects such as flash flood, viruses, illnesses and diseases. General practices all fields of studies are efficient, clean, orderly, well coordinated with one another SMEs. Site sanitation inspectors, geodetic engineers, environment specialists standards and practices expert, water, gas chemists, bacteriologist. respectively

Instead... build clean, green incinerator like a Japan and Europe.

Can you make a video on different waste disposal techniques used these days that are used for different types of waste. Thanks🙏

India's air would also have been cleaned to some extent if the so called controversial farm laws would have been passed thus banning burning of farm waste
