Ecological Waste Management Solutions

There is nothing worse than seeing garbage blowing down the street of your neighborhood, or finding broken shards of glass at the local swimming hole where children play. Wildlife is just as vulnerable to garbage and many have lost their lives after becoming tangled in waste or mistaking garbage for food. It is up to each of us to make an effort to minimize this unsightly, and sometimes hazardous, problem.

There are various ways from which we could help in upholding waste management system in our community. For instance carry plastic shopping bags on your walks to clean up litter that you find along the way. Often, people are rewarded for their efforts by the deposits returned from bottles and cans. Those who have noticed your efforts will begin taking up the same habit once they realize the impact it has.

Another is report any dumping you witness, whether it was done illegally or accidentally. Just get the license number and leave the rest to the officials. Also, report any site where garbage has been left by others. These problems can be reported to the local city, highway, public works or conservation office. Ask them to arrange for it to be cleaned up.

By doing these relatively small actions, we prevent contamination and injuries to people or wildlife in the area. When separating recyclable items, we keep a valuable resource out of the landfill. In addition, we maintain a pristine environment for citizens, tourists and wildlife to enjoy. We can all take pride knowing that by keeping garbage in its place, we are making the world just a little better for everyone.

Moreover, there is now an effective and ecological way of waste management. This is the Biosphere Technology or Biosphere Process System, a waste to energy system that uses gasification method. Through this technology waste materials are converted into green energy. We can help promote this kind of green technology to further strengthen environmental protection.

Helping Nature through Proper Waste Management

The main objective of waste management is to efficiently handle the disposal of waste without harming the public health and the environment. However most often than not, wastes generated are not properly managed thus causing environmental disasters and deaths for many people due to pollution.

Wastes can bring serious problems to human health and the environment if not properly managed. According to many studies, greenhouse gases are accumulating in earth’s atmosphere due to human activities thus causing earth’s surface including oceans to warm up. And this global warming brings about environmental problems such as climate change and destruction of ecosystems. In many countries particularly those in the third world countries, lack of efficient waste management and effective policies are usually the major causes of their environmental problems.

Having a proper waste management system will greatly help our environment. Issues like leachate, ground water contamination, air pollution, are only some of the environmental problems caused by improper waste management. An example of waste management that could resolve all this issues is the Biosphere Technology. This is a waste to energy system that can destroy and convert waste materials into marketable end products like green energy or electricity.

Biosphere Technology uses gasification process to efficiently and ecologically handle waste materials. The said process has passed all international atmospheric emission standards thus rest assured it’s not harmful to our environment.

Solution to Land Pollution

Pollution in air, water and land can greatly affect the public health and our natural environment. There are some contaminants that degrade overtime however, most remain in the soil and can eventually cause health problems and leaching of contaminants from lands into groundwater supply. 

Land pollution is such a big issue because the earth is where we live - and if we don't take care of our land what will happen to human nature? What kind of world would we live in? If we do not take action soon all the activities that we enjoy on a day to day basis will not be possible because the land we live on and enjoy will be so polluted that it will be dangerous to go around it. Land pollution is the polluting of Earth’s natural land surface. This is caused by things such as chemical and nuclear plants, Industrial factories, oil, mining, littering, overcrowded landfills and deforestation.

One effective way of solving land pollution is through proper waste management. The revolutionary biosphere technology can provide this solution. This technology is a waste to energy system that efficiently and ecologically destroys and converts waste materials into green energy or electricity.

Ronald Flynn: Living the Environmental Dream

Ronald Shane Flynn or Ron Flynn is the Founder of Spectrum Blue Steel Corporation (SBSC), also the CEO and Founder of True Green Energy Group (TGEG). His aspirations simply make environmental sense. When he established Spectrum Blue Steel Corporation, on his mind is to protect the environment and achieve a zero waste community wherein a sustainable future awaits the world. He wants to build a company that continuously provides green solutions to the ever growing environmental problems of our world. In June 2, 2008, he finally established the SBSC with a mindset of making his aspirations come true. SBSC has an exclusive license agreement between GEECF and Biosphere Development Corp. to deploy the biosphere process system worldwide. The company is currently distributing the biosphere system in the Philippines.

We all know that waste is generated in all sorts of ways. It is considered to be the end product of both natural and artificial processes such as manufacturing, chemical reactions, and even events in biochemical pathways. And these wastes have caused air and water pollution which affects not only our environment but also public health. However, Flynn believes that is it possible that nothing can go to waste – since every waste can be converted into something useful through the biosphere process system. This technology is a form of gasification process wherein it can convert municipal solid waste into green energy. The good news is many technologies like the biosphere process are now available to eliminate this kind of problems. Flynn is working with various people particularly the local government officials to encourage the use of this technology for efficient solid waste management. 

Through the help of many individuals like Ronald Flynn, we can all live the environmental dream of protecting the environment while making this world a better place to live in.

Putting wastes in order

Solid wastes problems in the Philippines has been an issue even years ago and it certainly add up to the growing effects of global warming. Although the Philippine government tries to eliminate it but up to now it is still one of the major problems of the Filipino community. This wastes problem has been addressed by the local government through implementing the solid waste management system to every community. But the question here is; how sustainable is this system to reduce the generated waste daily? The answer--it is not sustainable at all. The result is quiet visible in congested cities all over the Philippines. According to a study, the Philippines generates more than 10,000 tons of solid wastes per day. Imagine the garbage crisis that the Philippines is facing every day. It’s tons of garbage piled in every corner. Actually, it’s not the solid waste management system that is difficult to sustain but the implementation. Good thing there are numerous companies who strive hard to help countries with these kind of problems. SBSC (Spectrum Blue Steel Corporation) is one of these companies who continuously endeavor for a cleaner and greener environment. 

Spectrum Blue Steel Corporation is a local company duly registered under the laws of the Philippines which also serves as the management arm of the Spectrum Blue Steel Consultants. SBSC has an exclusive license to market, sell, or lease, install, and operate the Biosphere Process in the Philippines. The Biosphere Process or Biosphere Technology is a gasification process wherein it destroys traditional and non-traditional waste materials to generate electricity. SBSC believes that through biosphere technology we can eliminate the serious environmental issues brought by wastes problems.

SBSC has now existing biosphere projects agreements with some of the local government units in the Philippines. SBSC has MOA with City of San Fernando, Sta. Rosa Nueva Ecija, Naga City, Tanjay City, Dumaguete City and Bayawan City. In fact the construction of the biosphere facility in City of San Fernando, Pampanga has already started and more biosphere projects are set to be built in various cities and municipalities of the Philippines.

Developing our renewable energy sources

Many oil importer countries including the Philippines have finally shift their focus to the development of their renewable energy sources. The Philippine government has laid down regulatory and policy framework for the utilization of these renewable sources of energy. Exploration on wind, hydropower, geothermal, biomass, solar and ocean energy is being considered. Sen. Loren Legarda, who is also the founder of Luntiang Pilipinas (Greening of the Philippines) Foundation, and other government officials are pushing the use of renewable sources to further protect the Philippine environment. And aside from the programs on renewable energy, they are also campaigning on the improvement of energy efficiency and conservation and environmental conservation. Examples are the campaigns for National Efficiency and Conservation Program (NEECP), Philippine Clean Air Act and Philippine Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (PESWMA). 

While these are all possible solutions, however the perfect solution that takes along all these regulations is the joint venture agreement between local government units and Spectrum Blue Steel Corporation (SBSC) regarding the deployment of the biosphere gasification facility. The Biosphere Process™ or Biosphere Technology is the latest breakthrough on waste management and power generation.

The joint venture agreement was accepted under the local government code of 1991 (R.A. No. 7160) and the PESWMA of 2000 (R.A. No. 9003), where as local government units are authorized to institute solid waste disposal systems or environmental management systems, and to set up environmentally sound solid waste management facilities, and accord greater private sector participation in its solid waste management system. SBSC has now existing contracts with City of San Fernando Pampanga, Sta Rosa Laguna, Naga City, Tanjay City, Dumaguete City and Bayawan City.
