An RFID tracker similar to the ones used in logistical services will be used for this service, a first in the environmental industry. The guest of honor, Presidential Secretary for Political Affairs Hon. Francis Tolentino, gave a special message congratulating the company for its efforts in helping conserve the environment and serving the country as well.
