Rubberwood Processing Plant gets environmental clearance
- Details
The DOST-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) Rubberwood Processing Plant in Zamboanga Sibugay recently received its Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Environment Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) Region IX.
The certificate is proof that the processing plant has passed the DENR’s evaluation and is not expected to have any notable negative impact on the environment. However, with the ECC, the DOST-FPRDI’s local partner - the Tambanan Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Cooperative (TARBEMCO) – also needs to meet all the requirements for protecting the community from any of the project’s possible adverse effects. These include effects on the local people’s health, welfare and environment.
