River Mud as Organic Fertilizer

The Philippines is eying a revolutionary contribution to the world by turning filthy mud and water lilies into valuable resources that might just address problems on flooding and garbage.

This, as the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) signed a 10-year memorandum of agreement (MOA) with a Filipino inventor who discovered that the grimy mud of Pasig River and Laguna Lake, as well as the massive population of water lilies that clog these waterways, can be converted into organic fertilizer and alternative fuel.

Gonzalo Catan Jr., executive vice president of Mapecon Green Charcoal Philippines Inc., said they have proven during earlier research and development efforts that mud taken from Pasig River and Laguna Lake is organic and can be used as component of a mixture to create vermicast, an organic fertilizer.

The latest MOA signed among DENR, LLDA, Mapecon, and the National Committee on Urban Pest Control (NCUPC) was a “supplemental agreement” to an earlier MOA dated July 26, 2006, which facilitated joint research and development on the recycling of water lilies and organic mud from Pasig River and Laguna Lake.

“We have found out that this project to convert an unwanted waste to a valuable and useful resource is workable. We have proven during our first research and development initiative that mud in Pasig River and Laguna Lake is a valuable raw material, as we have proven that it is organic,” Catan said.
