PROJECT MANAGER Angela Marie E. Lagunero
II. PROJECT OVERVIEW
It is a visionary research thesis proposal aimed at designing and conceptualizing a groundbreaking Sustainable Solid Waste Management Complex
PROJECT DESCRIPTION incorporating a Waste-to-Energy Plant. The project envisions the integration of innovative architectural and engineering solutions to address the
pressing global challenges of waste management, energy generation, and environmental sustainability.

Environmental Imperatives

With rapid urbanization and industrialization, the volume of waste generated worldwide is reaching unsustainable levels, leading to adverse
environmental impacts such as pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change. By developing a sustainable waste management complex,
RECYNERGY aims to mitigate these environmental pressures and promote ecological resilience.

Energy Security and Renewable Energy Transition

In the face of dwindling fossil fuel reserves and growing concerns over greenhouse gas emissions, there is an imperative to transition towards
renewable energy sources. The integration of a Waste-to-Energy Plant within the RECYNERGY complex offers a renewable energy solution that not
only reduces reliance on finite resources but also contributes to local energy security and resilience.

Resource Recovery and Circular Economy

Traditional waste management practices often result in the loss of valuable resources and exacerbate resource scarcity. RECYNERGY prioritizes
resource recovery and promotes a circular economy approach by incorporating facilities for sorting, recycling, and recovering materials from the
waste stream, thereby minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION
Community Health and Well-being
Improper waste management practices pose significant health risks to communities, particularly in low-income and marginalized areas. By
implementing state-of-the-art waste management technologies and emissions control measures, RECYNERGY aims to safeguard community health
and well-being, ensuring a clean and sustainable living environment for present and future generations.

Innovation and Technological Advancement

RECYNERGY embodies a commitment to innovation and technological advancement in the field of waste management and renewable energy. By
integrating cutting-edge technologies, smart systems, and sustainable design principles, the project seeks to showcase the potential of
interdisciplinary collaboration to address complex societal challenges.

Educational and Research Opportunities

Beyond its immediate objectives, RECYNERGY provides valuable educational and research opportunities for students, scholars, and professionals in
the fields of architecture, engineering, environmental science, and public policy. The project serves as a living laboratory for interdisciplinary learning,
knowledge exchange, and capacity-building in sustainable development.

Market Demand Address growing global demand for sustainable waste management solutions.

Revenue Generation Generate revenue through electricity sales and waste processing fees.

Cost Savings Reduce waste disposal costs and improve operational efficiency.
