Environmental Legislation in the Philippines

The Philippine Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 aims to implement a disorganized solid waste management program.

According to the Act, it is important to establish guidelines and targets for the volume expansion of solid waste.

The Act encourages the incineration of solid waste as a sustainable waste management practice.

One of the objectives of the Act is to promote private sector involvement in solid waste management.

The Act does not prioritize public involvement in the creation and execution of waste management programs.

R.A. 9003 encourages environmental awareness but does not mention integrating environmental issues into academic curricula.

The 1999 Clean Air Act of the Philippines is also known as R.A. 9003.
