Circular Economy as a Service · Philippines
Circular Economy as a Service (CEaaS) is a comprehensive, turnkey solution designed for forward-thinking organizations. We act as your dedicated sustainability partner, engineering a closed-loop system where your operational waste becomes a high-value resource. Instead of managing fragmented recycling efforts, your business plugs into an established, end-to-end circular supply chain.
01 · The stream
Of the four primary fractions in municipal solid waste, conventional infrastructure is built to process only one, leaving the rest for standard disposal. The Circular Economy Center represents the next step in waste processing. We focus entirely on the remaining three fractions, transforming historically hard-to-process materials into eco-building products and clean energy.
PET, aluminum, cardboard. Already has a market. Baled and forwarded to our recycler partners — the only fraction a conventional MRF pays for itself on.
Degraded packaging, mixed fines. No buyer, no market. Moulded into structural blocks, pavers and aggregate.
Food waste, market waste, agricultural runoff. Anaerobically digested into biogas and a pelletized soil conditioner.
Clinical waste and off‑spec commercial stock. Pyrolyzed to industrial fuel or vitrified to inert aggregate.
02 · The facility
A conventional Materials Recovery Facility ends at the baler. A CEC keeps going: the fraction that has no buyer is extruded and moulded on site into construction materials, and what still can't be made into a block is converted into energy.
The green path is the one a conventional MRF doesn't have. Everything above it — reception,
sorting, baling — is standard practice; everything on and below it is what makes the facility
circular rather than merely efficient. Modules are added per site after commissioning, so a
municipality can start with blocks and add energy recovery when throughput justifies it.
03 · Scaling a site
Each one takes a fraction the base facility would otherwise landfill and turns it into a saleable output. None is required on day one.
in: organic MSW, market waste, agri runoff
Anaerobic digestion captures methane as a direct LPG substitute — piped to commercial kitchens, run through absorption chillers for off-grid cold storage, or burned in gensets for base-load power. The digestate becomes pelletised soil conditioner.
in: Plastic Waste
Controlled thermal degradation in an oxygen-free chamber breaks polymer bonds and condenses the vapour into synthetic diesel, industrial fuel oil and syngas. The syngas self-fuels the reactor; the oil runs the facility's own fleet and boilers.
in: mixed residual solids
Converts residual solid waste to syngas for gas engines, turbines or industrial boilers, with a sharp reduction in physical volume. The carbon-rich biochar byproduct goes to agriculture or straight back into the block line as aggregate.
in: clinical and biomedical waste
Extends a facility's licence to biomedical streams without incineration. Industrial shredding plus microwave sterilisation renders sharps, textiles and clinical materials sterile, unrecognisable and safe to process alongside municipal waste or use as RDF.
in: hazardous and brand-sensitive waste
For clients who need destruction rather than disposal. Plasma fields molecularly vaporise waste instead of burning it, guaranteeing irreversible elimination of off-spec branded stock. Non-organics melt to inert vitrified slag — a durable aggregate for paving.
in: throughput constraints
Replaces manual picking lines with optical sensors, near-infrared scanners and pneumatic ejectors. Raises feedstock purity for the extrusion line, lifts throughput, and removes workers from direct contact with raw municipal waste.
04 · Where we are
Scaling advanced resource recovery requires dedicated infrastructure. Our growing network of Circular Economy Centers represents the physical shift from standard waste disposal to material transformation.

05 · Partnership
A Circular Economy Center needs four things: a waste stream, a site, capital, and somebody who can run it. We bring the technology and thirteen facilities' worth of operating experience. If you hold any one of the others, there is a venture here — and it does not have to be all four.
01 · OPERATE
You want the sector
We bring the plant and the crews
Pyrolysis, biogas, gasification and plasma are not off-the-shelf purchases — they need a partner who has commissioned them and lives with the maintenance schedule. Come in on a facility rather than building a capability from nothing.
02 · FINANCE
You bring capital
We bring contracted offtake
Recovery infrastructure earns from two sides: tipping fees on what comes in, and sales of what goes out. Maynilad's five-year BioBrick term was signed before that plant was proven — that is the shape of the offtake a facility is underwritten against.
Or fund it as CSV or CSR, not for the return. The same facility puts livelihoods and green jobs into the community it collects from, captures carbon a landfill would have released, and produces audited diversion figures that go straight into your ESG reporting — shared value that can be counted, not sponsored.
03 · LAND
You bring the site
We bring everything on it
A site with road access for tipping vehicles, power and water, within reach of a real waste stream. Land that earns nothing today becomes the host of a facility — and the landowner takes a position in the venture rather than a ground rent.
04 · FACILITY
You bring a plant that stopped
We restart it
An MRF that never paid for itself, or a plant standing idle. Victoria, Lubang and Plaridel were all upgrades rather than new builds: the shed, the site and often the crew were already there — what was missing was the line that comes after the baler.
Every one of these starts the same way: a conversation about what you hold and what the waste stream near it actually looks like. No teaser, no data room — a call, then a feasibility study if it is worth one.
06 · What comes out
Manufactured by Mason Bee, the group's production arm, from feedstock recovered at our own facilities. Specifications are the ones on the spec sheet — not a range.
from: diverted municipal solid waste
Interlocking, so walls align without a string line. No plastering — the finish is the face. Less mortar per course, and roughly 10% off combined material and labour.
from: diverted MSW + aggregate binder
Plain finish for ultra-low water absorption in high-traffic industrial zones; rough and pervious finish for slip resistance and stormwater drainage where runoff pools.
from: local waste composite, steel-reinforced
Rot-proof, termite-proof, weather-resistant. Stackable and demountable, so a perimeter can be relocated with the project rather than demolished with it.
from: residual plastics
Fuel for industrial boilers and kilns at below market diesel.
07 · Two ways in
For LGUs
For enterprises
08 · The group
Most operators subcontract at least two of these steps. We don't, which is why a waste stream can be traced from the kerb to the block it ends up in.
01 · Collect
Traceable transport of commercial and industrial waste. The frontline that feeds every facility.
02 · Operate
Circular Economy as a Service — the joint ventures and operating agreements themselves.
03 · Manufacture
Turns recovered material into eco-building products for commercial, residential and agricultural work.
04 · Expand
Replicates proven facility models into new territories and markets.
05 · Retire
Asset retirement and decommissioning — ARO financial modelling, salvage recovery, site restoration.
09 · Start here
Every engagement starts the same way: we characterise what you actually generate before anyone proposes a facility. The assessment is a document you keep, whether or not you build with us.
We'll confirm by email within 3 working days and propose a date for the site characterisation visit.
