The Philippines is to be the testing ground for new “waste-to-worth” energy plants under a feasibility plan between the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Procter & Gamble (P&G). The aim is to generate up to two megawatts of power using solid waste collected from homes and businesses. The ADB has approved a USD385,000 technical assistance plan, equivalent to 60 percent of the total cost, to help determine the viability and sustainability of waste-to-energy projects.

The world's largest consumer goods company Procter & Gamble Co (P&G) will extend its global "sustainability scorecard" to another 200 top suppliers as it bids to improve its environmental performance. The scorecard program was introduced in May 2010 to about 400 suppliers and agencies around the globe who had the biggest impact on the consumer giant's business.
