The Environmental Management Bureau’s (EMB) Hazardous Waste Management Section (HWMS) organized an important online public consultation on Basel Ban Amendments last July 25, 2025. Led by Engr. Irvin Cadavona, OIC, Chief of HWMS, the meeting brought together experts from industry, government, academia, and non-government organizations. This joint session was meant to exchange views and fine-tune the Philippine position towards the global banning of hazardous waste exports to developing countries, a pillar for inclusion in the Basel Convention.

The Consultation is just the beginning of a Hazardous Waste Roadmap 2030 for the country. A follow-up Inception Workshop scheduled for August 08 is expected to pull together these insights to put the country’s stance on the Amendment in its final form. This move represents a government in touch with its stakeholders and the environment. It emphasizes commitment to sustainable waste management practices, which will in turn pave the way for safer, healthier lives amongst Filipino people.
