From remediation to radiance. 🌿✨

From toxic, poisonous, heavy-metal-contaminated leachate, Alterna Verde demonstrates how environmental remediation can give rise to something wholesome, radiant, and pleasing to the senses. Our citronella-scented candles embody that transformation—turning recovery into renewal and waste into value.

Made with **100% soybean wax**, these candles represent more than fragrance and light. They symbolize the circular economy in action: resources recovered, nature restored, and new value created from what was once an environmental burden.

This project **closes the loop**, proving that sustainability can be practical, beautiful, and inspiring.

PRESS RELEASE | EcoWaste Coalition calls for formal investigation into LGU waste contracts, urges full utilization of re-established Environmental Ombudsman Program to enforce R.A. 9003

---

In response to recent public statements made by Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla regarding irregularities in local government units (LGUs) garbage collection, the EcoWaste Coalition called on the Office of the Ombudsman and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to follow through on these statements with formal, rigorous investigations into city and municipal waste contracts across the country.

The Coalition emphasized that probing these reported irregularities and fully leveraging the recently re-established Environmental Ombudsman Program are essential steps to identify governance bottlenecks and ensure the genuine enforcement of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (R.A. 9003), rather than amending the law with costly Waste-to-Energy (WtE) incineration schemes.

In a recent radio program broadcast, Ombudsman Remulla candidly asserted that garbage contracts have turned into lucrative profit centers for local chief executives across the country. “Pinakamalaking negosyo ng lahat ng mayor sa Pilipinas, lahat walang exemption, basura,” Remulla emphasized. He further castigated DENR for severe institutional shortcomings in waste oversight, land titling, and illegal reclamation, stressing an urgent need to curb impunity and strengthen government accountability.
