Prime Infra Kicks Off ‘Prime Kalikasan’ Tree Planting Program at Waste Facilities

Prime Infrastructure Capital Inc (Prime Infra) has officially launched Prime Kalikasan: Greener Prime, Greater Future. Prime Kalikasan is a tree-planting initiative aimed at strengthening its commitment to environmental sustainability. The program kicked off with simultaneous activities at its waste management facilities in Porac, Pampanga, and Barangay Binaliw, Cebu City.

Held on September 5 and 6, the tree planting was organized by Prime Infra Foundation and Prime Waste Solutions (PWS), the company’s waste management unit. “Through Prime Kalikasan, we reinforce our commitment to embed sustainability across our businesses and deliver positive impact on the environment,” the company said.

In Pampanga, around 700 Ylang-Ylang seedlings were planted. These will eventually be used for bio-fencing, serving as a natural protective barrier. Nearly 150 volunteers joined the activity, including students and teachers from Planas High School and Planas Elementary School. Katutubo Village residents, Porac LGU representatives, and employees of PWS and Prime Infra Foundation also joined the event.

Meanwhile, at Barangay Binaliw, Cebu City, PWS Cebu workers planted 1,000 seedlings. This consisted of native and fruit-bearing species such as Narra, Molave, Banana, Rambutan, Agdao, Mabolo, Ylang-Ylang, Mamalis, and Guyabano. Once matured, these trees will not only serve as bio-fencing but also help improve air quality and support biodiversity.

PWS operates large-scale materials recovery facilities in Cebu and Pampanga, focusing on resource recovery through sorting, segregation, and recycling. The integration of the Prime Kalikasan initiative underscores Prime Infra’s vision of building critical infrastructure with sustainability at the core.
