CROWN CAPITAL ECO MANAGEMENT - Water and Recycling
IFC finances projects across the waste value chain from upstream industry/populations to downstream disposal and energy utilization:
Upstream: Municipal and solid waste, industrial and manufacturing, hazardous and medical waste;
Midstream: collection and transport; separation and process;
Downstream: waste disposal; energy recovery.
IFC's investment approach is to promote development of the waste industry in emerging markets, help reduce costs, and allow the industry to become competitive. We support integrated solid waste (SW) management approaches, with regional strategies to gain economies of scale and drive down costs.
Through our work, we leverage existing formal and informal sectors for collection and recycling, to maximize poverty and social impacts, improve health and safety, and drive gender equality. IFC investments encourage low cost, technically viable, and climate favorable waste collection and disposal solutions with energy recovery where feasible. Additionally, we support upstream waste generation to adopt "3Rs" - Reuse, Reduce Recycle.
We access concessional finance to enable waste projects in LICs where full cost recovery is not yet possible due to inability to pay or insufficient regulatory framework.

Thousands of dead pigs fished out of Shanghai river
Telegraph correspondent Tom Phillips reports on China's latest health scandal from the foul smelling banks of the Huangpu river in Shanghai where over 3,000 dead pigs have been pulled from the water.
Authorities have been pulling out the swollen and rotting pigs, some with their internal organs visible, since Friday - and revolting images of the carcasses in news reports and online blogs have raised public anger against local officials.
The surge in the dumping of dead pigs upstream from Shanghai has followed a police campaign to curb the illicit trade in sick pig parts.
The effort to keep infected pork off dinner tables may instead be fueling new health fears, as Shanghai residents and local media fret over the possibility of contamination to the city's water supply, although authorities say no contamination has been detected.

2000 Dead Pigs In Shanghai River China 死的猪
A surge in the dumping of dead pigs upstream from Shanghai -- with more than 2,800 carcasses floating into the financial hub through Monday -- has followed a police campaign to curb the illicit trade in sick pig parts.
The effort to keep infected pork off dinner tables may be fueling new health fears, as Shanghai residents and local media fret over the possibility of contamination to the city's water supply, though authorities say no contamination has been detected.
Authorities have been pulling out the swollen and rotting pigs, some with their internal organs visible, since Friday -- and revolting images of the carcasses in news reports and online blogs have raised public ire against local officials.
"Well, since there supposedly is no problem in drinking this water, please forward this message, if you agree, to ask Shanghai's party secretary, mayor and water authority leaders if they will be the first ones to drink this meat soup?" lawyer Gan Yuanchun said on his verified microblog.
On Monday, Shanghai officials said the number of dumped adult and piglet carcasses retrieved had reached 2,813. The city government, citing monitoring authorities, said the drinking water quality has not been affected.
Shanghai's Agriculture Committee said authorities don't know what caused the pigs to die, but that they have detected a sometimes-fatal pig disease in at least one of the carcasses. The disease is associated with the porcine circovirus, which is widespread in pigs but doesn't affect humans or other livestock.
Shanghai's city government said initial investigations had found the dead pigs had come from Jiaxing city in neighboring Zhejiang province. It said it had not found any major epidemic.
Huang Beibei, a lifetime resident of Shanghai, was the first to expose the problem when he took photos of the carcasses and uploaded them onto his microblog on Thursday.
"This is the water we are drinking," Huang wrote. "What is the government doing to address this?"
His graphic photos apparently caught the attention of local reporters, who followed up.
Huang said he's most concerned about water safety. "Though the government says the water is safe, at least I do not believe it -- given the number of the pigs in the river. These pigs have died from disease," Huang said.
The dumping follows a clampdown on the illegal trade in contaminated pork.
In China, pigs that have died from disease should be either incinerated or buried, but some unscrupulous farmers and animal control officials have sold problematic carcasses to slaughterhouses. The pork harvested from such carcasses has ended up in markets. As a food safety problem, it has drawn attention from China's Ministry of Public Security, which has made it a priority to crack down on gangs that purchase dead diseased pigs and process them for illegal profits.
Zhejiang police said on their official website that police have been campaigning to rid the market of unsafe pork meat and that the efforts were stepped up this winter as Chinese families gathered to celebrate the Lunar New Year in February.
In one operation last year, police in Jiaxing broke up a criminal gang that acquired and slaughtered diseased pigs. The provincial authorities said police arrested 12 suspects and confiscated nearly 12 tons of tainted pork meat.
"Ever since the police have stepped up efforts to crack down on the illicit market of sick pigs since last year, no one has come here to buy dead pigs, and the problem of pig dumping is worse than ever this year," an unnamed villager told the Jiaxing Daily newspaper, which is run by the local Communist Party.
Wang Xianjun, a government worker for Zhulin village, told the newspaper that villagers were breeding too many pigs.

China: Safety Fears As More Dead Pigs Found - Shanghai.
Workers say they are overwhelmed as they attempt to drag nearly 7,000 pig carcasses from a river in Shanghai. Residents of Shanghai have become increasingly concerned about contaminated water as the number of dead pigs found floating in a river rose to nearly 7,000.
The pig carcasses started appearing in Shanghai on Saturday and are thought to have been dumped in the city's main Huangpu river further upstream after dying of disease.
Workers have been removing the carcasses but have been overwhelmed as increasing numbers of dead pigs have appeared.
Local television showed men digging a mass grave and then dumping dead pigs from a cargo net into the hole, as a worker in a white biohazard suit poured disinfectant on the carcasses.
Shanghai's government has denied that its water is unsafe, saying: "Treated water meets national drinking water hygiene standards."
However, residents have continued to question the government assurances as the problem has worsened.
One comment posted on an online forum, under the name of Youshan Wanshui6_6, said: "So many dead pigs and the water quality has not been affected. Who are you fooling? Do you think people are idiots?"
Shanghai has pointed the finger at Jiaxing in the neighbouring province of Zhejiang, a major centre for pig breeding. A Jiaxing official has admitted that some of the dead pigs could be from the area.
In an online chat on the website of the People's Daily newspaper, the unnamed agriculture official said: "We do not rule out the possibility of dead pigs in Jiaxing's waterways floating into Shanghai.
"But as far as we grasp the current situation, there are dead pigs from areas outside Jiaxing also flowing in," he said.
The official added that a handful of tags found on the dead pigs in Shanghai had been traced to a local producer and police were bringing a case against the individual, who was not identified.
Shanghai's agricultural commission said on Monday that some of the animals had tested positive for porcine circovirus, which it described as a common swine disease that does not affect humans.
The city has tightened supervision over its markets to avoid tainted meat from the dead pigs being sold to consumers, the Shanghai Daily said.
Meat producers in China sometimes sell animals that have died from disease, instead of disposing of them, amid lax food safety laws.
Around half of the world's 1.3m pigs slaughtered annually for meat are raised in China, many of which are reared in intensive farms which have been accused of promoting the spread of disease.
In 2007, an outbreak of high fever blue ear disease in pigs in China affected 50 million animals.

Officials were trying to determine who had dumped the carcasses into the river, the Huangpu, which slices through the heart of Shanghai. Some reports blamed farmers. Officials were seeking to track the source of the pigs from marks on their ears, and a preliminary inquiry found that the dumping occurred in Zhejiang Province, which is south of Shanghai and upstream on the Huangpu.
Photographs of the carcasses floating in the river were circulating widely on the Internet. One photograph on the Web site of Global Times showed sanitation workers in orange vests and blue uniforms lifting carcasses from Hengliaojing Creek with long wooden poles.
An accompanying report, citing a Shanghai news Web site, said the first carcasses were discovered Thursday near a water treatment plant in an area that is a protected water resource. Their numbers increased quickly over the weekend, and the tally was expected to grow further as search barges returned to Shanghai.
Shanghai Waterworks, which manages the city's tap water, said Sunday night that the water still met drinking standards, according to Xinhua, the state news agency. Shanghai officials said the group was checking the water hourly.
"So far, water quality has not been affected, but we have to remove the pigs as quickly as possible and can't let their bodies rot in the water," Xu Rong, the director of Shanghai's Songjiang District Environmental Protection Bureau, told Global Times, a state-run English-language newspaper.
Mr. Xu said samples of the pigs had been sent to an agricultural commission to determine what killed them. Officials will have answers within three days, he said.
A sample of the river water tested positive for porcine circovirus, which officials said does not spread to humans, Xinhua reported. One strain of the virus can cause pigs to waste.
Many Chinese are expressing growing concern over air, soil and water pollution. In recent weeks, several official news organizations have run articles and editorials casting a spotlight on pollution of some of China's major waterways.
In one prominent case, a 39-ton chemical spill on Dec. 31 from a fertilizer factory in Shanxi Province affected two other provinces downstream. Local officials delayed reporting the chemical spill for five days.
A statement issued Monday by the Shanghai government and posted on its Web site said that there were piglets in the river as well as adult swine weighing hundreds of pounds. Residents in the Songjiang district, the area southwest of downtown Shanghai where most of the pigs have been discovered, said this was not the first time they had seen dead pigs in the Huangpu. But this time, the number was higher than in the past, according to the city government's statement.
Songjiang district officials said they were gathering all the dead pigs in one place to safely dispose of them, Xinhua reported.
