Expansion Powered by Meralco helps Farmrichfoods Elevate the Poultry Industry in Bulacan

In 2014, Sonny Sebastian, Chief Executive Officer of Farmrichfoods Meat Processing and Poultry Dressing Plant Corporation, decided to expand the family business to include poultry rendering. This is a process that turns chicken by-products into useful and consumable end-products such as animal feeds. The expansion will not only make Farmrichfoods more profitable, but it will also result in sustainable and zero-waste operations and provide more jobs for the people of Pandi, Bulacan, where the facility is based.

Farmrichfoods’ collaboration with Meralco Biz Partners powered their expansion through the Peak / Off-Peak (POP) solution, which generated monthly savings of P35,000.

5 Tips for Cleaning and Caring for Delicate Garments

DF60R8600CG/TC via Samsung

Delicate garments are beautiful to wear but aren’t always the easiest to maintain. They aren’t made with thicker fabrics that allow them to be tossed in a washer or folded to be stored in the closet. Fine knits, lace, chiffon, and velvet need special care when cleaning and storing. Here are five easy tips for taking care of such fabrics:

1. Wash delicate garments the right way. Start sorting the delicates by type because washing delicates of different fabrics may snag in the wash and lose their shape. Zippers and other enclosures that aren’t securely fastened can also damage clothes, especially fine ones like silk. Users can choose to wash their delicates in a mesh bag and under the “Delicate” or “Gentle” wash setting with the lowest spin cycle and turn them inside out to protect their color. 

Samsung’s AirDresser is the newest innovation in clothing care. Its Wrinkle Care technology uses a combination of steam and air to relax and smooth out creases in clothes, so they’re ready to wear. It removes 100% of wrinkles from woolen clothes and 80% of creases from rayon material. HeatPump Drying gently dries clothes to reduce damage and shrinkage.
