The Environmental Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Region 11 (DENR-EMB 11) has assured the public that the planned waste-to-energy project in Davao City will not harm the environment, according to GMA Regional TV's One Mindanao.

The assurance comes as environmental groups have raised concerns about the proposed facility, the report said.

The available report does not detail the specific concerns raised by the groups, the safeguards cited by the agency, or the project's timeline and location.
