About Us

The first time I went to the Philippines, I was lost for words at the scene before me. Garbage piled up along the roadside, and children playing right beside it. The systems exist. The laws exist. Yet in 25 years, nothing has changed.

The reason was simple: no one was designing the whole.

The government imposes obligations but hands over no means to carry them out. The private sector will not move until it can see a return. Communities have no way to make their voices heard. These three layers had long been moving in isolation from one another.

So we connect them.

What HFP brings is a non-incineration technology that converts waste into syngas without burning the carbon. We ask no advanced segregation of citizens; the feedstock is prepared on our own pre-treatment line. The carbonization front end has an existing track record, and the downstream reforming and synthesis are licensed, established technologies. We believe this is a workable design.

And our goal lies beyond that. It is to build a structure that Filipinos operate, where capability and industry remain in the country, and where the solution continues even after HFP is gone. That is our purpose.

For a Japanese venture to take on the waste problem of the entire Philippines is a considerable undertaking. Yet as long as we stay within the bounds of how things have always been done, this problem — unchanged for 25 years — will remain unchanged.

So we move forward. Quietly, and surely.
