SHAH ALAM, Nov 12 — Kumpulan Darul Ehsan Berhad Waste Management Sdn Bhd (KDEBWM) has topped as the best solid waste management company and owns the country’s largest asset.
Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari said this is proven from the 1,000 compactors and roll on, roll off (RORO) bins owned by KDEBWM that are operating on a daily basis, collecting domestic waste and carrying out general cleaning in areas under the purview of 11 local authorities in Selangor.
“More compactors and RORO will be added when KDEBWM begins its operations under the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) early next year.
“KDEBWM, in its three years operating, has brought pride to the state government for being selected as the Smart Waste Solution Company of the Year by Frost and Sullivan for two consecutive years in 2018 and 2019.
“This is a great achievement as KDEBWM was also recognised as one of the best solid waste management companies in the country,” said Amirudin at the Petronas SmartPay Fleet Card Scheme signing ceremony between KDEBWM and Petronas Dagangan Berhad (PDB), held at Shah Alam Convention Center here today.
Amirudin said KDEBWM had also received the Brand Laureate award for the best Solid Waste Management Company.
Based on records, he said Selangor is the highest waste-producing state in Malaysia with about 7,000 tonnes of waste a day.
