Davao Thermo Biotech Corporation (DTBC)

The question of more sustainable agriculture deals with its entire ecosystem, from roads and climate to livestock and waste management. The NDC locked arms with Davao Thermo Biotech Corporation (DTBC) to tackle the problem of waste management head on. DTBC represents a pioneering investment in sustainable waste management, utilizing Japanese technology to transform biodegradable waste into high-quality organic fertilizer. DTBTC's solutions go beyond conventional means, such as landfills. The DTBC operates a facility that converts biodegradable waste into biofertilizer. This presents an eco-friendly alternative to commonplace chemical fertilizers and a more sustainable path for farmers and agriculturists in the long-term. This facility, operating in Davao since 2015, employs proprietary hyper thermophilic bacteria technology licensed from Kyowa Kako Co. and Kankyo Wakuchin Vaccine Co. Ltd. of Japan. DTBC's process converts organic waste into biofertilizer within 45 days through high-temperature composting, producing a clean, safe product ideal for vegetable cultivation and seedling germination. NDC's Php 40 million investment, formalized through a Subordinated Note Agreement in December 2023, supports DTBC's expansion and demonstrates the government's commitment to innovative environmental solutions.
