Launched as a showcase project for RA 9003 (Republic Act 9003 : Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of the Philippines), Silid Eco-Aralan aims to showcase the high and low-tech ecological solid waste management approach. Communities (Barangays of Malvar A & B) and different departments at the Presidential Palace compound were given several trainings on ecological solid waste management prior to the project launching. The Materials Recovery Facility runs a compost facility, complete with 2 stainless compost drums and a shredder. The composts are being used in improving the garden and vegetable patch inside their MRF center and at the same time for the greening-rehabilitation project of the Malacaņang (Presidential Palace) compound. They plan to set up a bigger storage area for recyclables. Part of their outreach program, they recently initiated a livelihood training program to the wives of the PSG (Presidential Security Guards) staff.

In August 1997, Barangay Chairman Andy Santiago of Ugong Barangay Council organized a group of housewives called Samahan ng mga Kababaihan ng Ugong to help implement the clean and green project of the barangay. The group proved to be an effective partner for the Solid Waste Management Program of the Ugong Barangay Council. In 1999, they decide to formally register the group as Kababaihan Iisa ang Layunin Umunlad ang Sambayan or KILUS, composed of 500-strong women force. There are currently implementing two projects: one is the Bawas Basura Dagdag Kita (Segregation, Reduction & Recycling of Solid Waste), the other is the Creative Recycling for Doy Pack.
Bawas Basura Dagdag Kita (Segregation, Reduction & Recycling of Solid Waste)
Bawas Basura Dagdag implements a waste segregation and collection scheme in the Barangay, which involves 15 buyers with pushcarts assigned to buy segregated non-biodegradable items from each household. The purchased items are regularly hauled by a mini-dump truck to be sold to Lini-Ganda (Clean and Beautiful) Environmental Junk Shop.
Creative Recycling for Doy Pack
At present, KILUS provides livelihood for 160 families through the production of assorted bags and other reusable products from disposed doy packs of different brands and has been sanitized to become raw materials of the products. Production capacity of 40,000 pcs of bags a month. These bags are very popular among foreigners. We have 15 countries in the list, namely: Japan, USA, Canada, Korea, Singapore, Hongkong, Switzerland, Australia, Denmark, Germany, Italy, France, Israel, Turkey and Spain. Aside from doy packs we are also looking fo other materials that we can use in our product.

The barangay's interest in improving its waste management system started before RA9003 fearing a repeat of the Payatas tragedy. Due to the closure of Payatas dumpsite, Barangay Bagumbuhay decided to manage the waste generated in the Barangay since the City government wasn't collecting the garbage anymore. As an initial solution, the barangay bought 8 pigs that would consume the kitchen wastes being collected and at the same time a source of livelihood for the community. When the barangay realized that the pigs couldn't handle the volume of kitchen waste being collected, they requested DENR to donate a composting drum. The Barangay acquired additional equipments, like a shredder and a hammer mill using the rebate they got from the city government. These machines are now being used to decrease the processing time and increase the output in producing the compost fertilizer. A month from now, the barangay is planning to build a Materials Recovery Facility to store the barangay's recyclables.

The project started when Lulu Ocampo, a trainer approached SMPMPC and expressed her willingness to train more people on handicraft making out of discard materials. 70 women who recruited from the Smokey Mountain temporary housing initially attended the training program. The said training developed and eventually gave way to the establishment of the organization's livelihood project for the women. Some trainees who learned the skill ventured out on their own. At present there are ten women who regularly make the bags. They call out to others if they have bigger orders.
SMPMPC makes the products based on specific order/s. Their products are currently sold in NAIA, Total Gas Station, and CFC Ortigas.

Zero Waste Kovalam, conceptualized early in 2001 as an alternative to the present dump-burn-bury method of handling waste and to wasteful end-of-pipe solutions like incinerators and landfills, was formally launched in November 2001 at Kovalam. It evolved as a result of anti incineration campaign in Kovalam international tourist destination. Zero Waste aspires not only to eliminate waste, but also to eliminate inefficiency by way of total recovery of resources, from whatever is discarded. Zero waste in its best form, provides guidance on what materials are permissible in society, how they should be designed, and how and who should handle the materials after their use.

Kababaihan ng Barangay Talayan is an informal group of women who is residing in Barangay Talayan in Quezon City. Then Barangay Captain Merci Sumilang and Ms. Luz Sandoy initiated the training in 2001. This was part of the Waste Management Program and Parish Project of Barangay Talayan to promote the recycling of waste and as livelihood for the women. Initially, there were 10-15 community members who participated in the training. Materials like used magazines and telephone directories are collected within the barangay. They assemble the products at their home during spare time.
Although there has been a change of leadership in the barangay, the women are still practicing and making use of the skills they have learned. They are also invited to train women from other communities who are interested in the project.
