SHAH ALAM, March 17 — KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd (KDEBWM) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Petronas Chemical Group Berhad (PCG) for the supply of plastic waste and evaluation of potential collaboration to build waste segregation facilities in Malaysia.
The MoU was signed during a virtual ceremony yesterday between KDEBWM managing director Ramli Mohd Tahir and PCG managing director and chief executive officer Ir Mohd Yusri Mohamed Yusof.
Under the MoU, KDEBWM will supply plastics waste that consists of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) as well and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to PCG to produce circular products for food, healthcare, household, and industrial packaging.
Ramli said KDEBWM is always open to partnerships or collaborations that would contribute to economic and environmental sustainability.
“We are proud to collaborate with a national company such as PCG for an initiative that we hope would be a significant milestone for the circular economy here in Malaysia.
“The MoU also covers a joint feasibility study to evaluate the commercial viability of building waste segregation facilities in Malaysia, which will ensure effective plastic waste segregation,” he said
Ramli said the signing of the MoU was part of KDEBWM’s efforts to explore solid waste-related business opportunities, including the establishment of high-impact sustainable power plants and material recovery centres.
