KALIBO, Aklan - The Bread and Butter food chain in Panay Island reported to have earned P40,000 from its recycled wastes in October after only one month of operation of its own Material Recovery Facility (MRF).

Dr. Cynthia Dela Cruz, owner of the food chain, said that their company established the MRF just last October because she considered herself as an environmentalist advocating sustainable waste management (SWM).

"I realized that how would people listen to my campaign on waste segregation when they haven’t seen me doing it. So I decided to set up our own MRF for the people to believe that I am serious in my advocacy," Dela Cruz, who is also the former president of the Aklan Medical Society, said.
