Boracay Island has long been the subject of issues regarding wastewater, drainage systems, and residual solid waste that fill the air with noxious odor. While there are regulations governing waste treatment in the island, the problem persists due to an inadequate treatment system especially with the continuous influx of tourists to the island.

Boracay may have found the answer to this problem through Department of Science and Technology’s (DOST)-developed Eco-Sep, an organomineral treatment used in a self-sustaining and portable wastewater treatment system.
Organominerals are mineral products that are formed by interaction of organic matter.
