Waste Challenges
Malaysians create more waste today than ever before. The increase is a direct consequence of the growing
population and economy, and higher demand for goods and services. This has raised concern over the waste
management infrastructure. Coupled with a lack of of expertise in waste management, municipal solid waste
has become one of our most critical environmental issues. Malaysia needs to urgently bridge the infrastructure
gap in order to re-direct the waste that is currently sent to landfills to more sustainable processing options.

Scheduled Waste Overview

The economic growth that Malaysia has enjoyed in the past decade has led to an increase in construction,
manufacturing and agricultural production. All these industries produce significant amounts of scheduled waste.

The Malaysian government estimates that scheduled waste in the country originates across these industries:

matter the most to our stakeholders and which could significantly affect our ability to execute our sustainability

The materiality assessment in 2017 included a review of the clusters that group the material issues to better
represent Cenviro’s operations. Two new material aspects were included to better reflect our increased focus
on the circular economy and digitising our business; namely ‘Transition to circular economy’, and ‘Integrating
digital and smart technologies’.

Based on this year’s assessment, ‘Contribution to nation building’ was re-named as ‘Future-focused integrated
solutions’. Key points arising from the materiality analysis in 2017 were:

Greener Solutions: Stakeholders showed an increased priority for practical and innovative
solutions through the services that we are able to provide.

the Environment: notably with regard to ‘Operational Efficiency’ (previously known as
Process Efficiency) and ‘Biodiversity Management’. On the other hand,
‘Waste Management at WMC’ saw a slight decrease in priority. We believe
this is based on Cenviro’s advanced capability in this area.

Empowered People: Consistently important because our people drive our business success.

treatment method and requirements. The waste is categorised before collection, and analysed again on arrival
at WMC by our experts to ensure appropriate treatment and disposal. All waste containers are bar-coded with
data logged into our Electronic Integrated Waste Information System (EIWIS). Any recyclable waste is then
channelled to its designated facility for final treatment.

REnescience – Municipal Solid Waste to Energy

Together with Orsted, the new name for DONG Energy, we are developing an integrated waste-management
concept incorporating REnescience technology. Using enzymes, mechanical sorting, recycled water and
anaerobic digestion, REnescience separates household waste into recyclables. Then it liquifies the organics
from the waste and turns it into energy, precisely green energy.

The first commercial REnescience plant, located in Northwich, UK, was operational in mid-2017, with a capacity
of 120,000 tonnes per year. Following the successful installation of the Northwich plant, Cenviro and Ørsted
plan to replicate similar non-thermal waste-to-energy facilities in Malaysia. REnescience technology takes
advantage of the moisture in municipal solid waste. It is well suited for Malaysia, where the waste contains up to
50-60% moisture.

The viability of using REnescience in processing Malaysian waste was first tested with an on-site Mobile
Demonstration Unit at the KASB plant in 2016. Further independent studies on waste characterisation were
conducted in 2016, in four laboratories around the world. The results were satisfactory with regard to methane
yield from bioliquid as well as quality of solid fractions – desired outputs of this technology.

In 2017, we focused on training Malaysian engineers in preparation of implementing this technology, through
on-site training for engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC), as well as on-site
training for operation and maintenance (O&M).

EPIC
Located in 5.4 acres of Cenviro Eco-Park, EPIC is Malaysia’s first centre of excellence for waste management
with the aim of developing knowledge across the whole spectrum of waste management. EPIC’s mandate is
to fulfil Four Development Pillars; namely Human Capital and Content Development, Innovation and Advanced
Technology Development, Green Economy and Eco-Park Facilitation and Environmental Awareness and Social
Responsibility.

July 2017 marked a milestone as EPIC was officially launched by the Malaysian Minister of Natural Resources
and Environment, YB Dato Sri Dr. Haji Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.

Through EPIC, a new generation of waste management professionals will be able to fill the gap in professional
and technical skills in an ever-evolving industry. We also hope to learn, exchange technologies and improve
awareness towards holistic waste management in Malaysia through partnerships and international expertise.

The EPIC building, designed by renowned architect Hijjas Kasturi, was awarded Platinum Green Building Index
(GBI) certification for Design Assessment. The building has features such as a solar-panelled rooftop, rainwater
harvesting systems and the use of recycled materials in the building structure. The building adopted green
technologies from concept to completion, including the bioclimatic design which focuses on energy efficiency,
water efficiency and a healthy environment.

EPIC to nurture human capital development

EPIC’s main objective is to serve as a platform to raise standards and capabilities of the industry in Malaysia.
By being the go-to institution that nurtures expertise in waste management, EPIC will be able to develop a new
cohort of Malaysian accredited and certified professionals in the area. Programmes can start from basic 1-3 day
courses to up to year-long courses.

For example, there are many compactor drivers in Malaysia and we are looking to get them all certified.
By getting certified, it will increase their job grade and remuneration. It may be a 2-3 day course where they
learn about the truck, what to do in emergencies, basic maintenance of the truck as well as on health and
safety. At a higher level, we will conduct very specific programmes for technical grades. Our Integrated Waste
Management Facility will be able to provide trainees with practical experience as well.

One of EPIC’s key partnerships is with Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM). We will work
together to establish CIWM Malaysia in 2018 to provide professional training and accredited courses for the
industry. The prestigious partnership came to fruition as CIWM is drawn to EPIC’s underlying vision.

Sustainable Procurement Practices
We recognise that our waste, emissions, and environmental risks are often directly linked to the quantity
and quality of the goods, services and raw materials we buy. Materials bought typically include equipment
for waste treatment, such as pumps and motors, and consumables such as jumbo bags and personal
protective equipment. The services we procure are mainly for equipment maintenance and services related
to construction projects. Cenviro adopts a responsible approach to procurement practices because we are
committed to building and supporting a sustainable supply chain.

Environmental Management
While most of our services and solutions help clients – and the nation – tackle the environmental challenges
of waste and climate change, we ensure that our own operations use natural resources, create emissions and
contribute to climate change. Our environmental management policies (KASB IMS Policy) seek to minimise these
negative impacts and ensure our carbon footprint is as small as possible. We are also aware that the more efficient
our collection methods are and the higher the recycling rates in the country become, the more emissions our
operations will release – a trade-off we need to balance with even more effective recovery methods.

Top management involvement and accountability is of utmost importance when driving environmental
management performance.

It is only with their foresight that a general strategy can be formulated to lead the organisation’s efforts to achieve
our environmental vision.

An effective Environmental Management System (EMS) will improve environmental performance. Our top
management is committed to providing the necessary resources to develop, operate and maintain the EMS to
fulfil our mission, which is “To provide Innovative and Sustainable Waste Management and Renewable Energy
Solutions”.

Our Operations and the Environment

Cenviro monitors seven key environmental performance indicators at WMC:

Key environmental performance Description

Surface water quality We conduct quarterly surface water quality monitoring to preserve river
water quality while identifying changes and potential pollution sources.
Cenviro follows the National Water Quality Standards.
Groundwater quality Monitored as a part of licensing requirements.
Wastewater quality Practiced Zero Discharge Policy, as all wastewater is being treated and
used back in facilities such as quenching water in incineration process.
Air quality Smoke from stacks (as we treat scheduled waste with inorganic
compounds) is monitored to ensure quality of air emitted complies with
regulations.
Odour Odour is controlled at the outlets of microwave system and wastewater
treatment plant.
Noise Noise level monitoring according to Annex A, Schedule of Permissible
Sound Levels, Schedule 1: Maximum permissible Sound Level (LAeq)
by Receiving Land Use for Planning and New Development under The
Planning Guidelines for Environmental Noise Limits and Control, 2004 by
DOE.
Biodiversity We strive to ensure our operations do not harm or reduce potential harm
to sensitive species, habitats and ecosystems.

Managing environmental non-conformance

Environmental regulation is the framework that helps companies manage their direct impact on the environment.
For a complex industry like waste management, ensuring compliance and monitoring is a complicated task.
It requires solid monitoring mechanisms for verification and readiness to implement changes as a response to
ground events.

Cenviro’s procedures for managing non-conformance:

• In the event of non-conformance, a Corrective Action Preventive Action (CAPA) form will be issued to the
respective area owner. There is a procedure for how CAPA forms are registered, assigned for action and
archived.
• New employees are trained on environmental issues.
• Respective departments report environmental performance to EPMC on a monthly basis and ERCMC on a
quarterly basis.
• There are quarterly meetings on Environmental Monitoring Report (EMR). The meetings are attended by
both parties from KASB and appointed consultant.
• WMC has a Penalty Matrix System to improve employees’ awareness and compliance of safety, health and
environment procedures. It guides us on how to discipline employees in cases of non-compliance.

Business Ethics
The Board and Management of Cenviro firmly believe that a genuine commitment to good corporate

wide.

new recruits are provided with the Employee Code of Conduct upon joining and are required to disclose all
interests.

It is important that employees understand the rules of conduct for which they are accountable, in accordance
with relevant laws and regulation. Cenviro has developed training and education programmes to support
regulatory compliance programme and foster a compliance centric culture. We will also be looking into more
awareness sessions in the coming year.

vendors, contractors and/or any other parties with a business relationship with the Company. The Policy
provides a mechanism to report instances of unethical behaviour, actual or suspected fraud, dishonesty or

 Sustainability Report 2017 115

Glossary
4R Waste prevention techniques are commonly summarised as the so-called 4Rs: reduction, reuse, recycle and
recover, Reduce, reuse and recycle are known in the industry as the 3Rs.

5S is a workplace organisation method that uses a list of five Japanese words: seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu and
shitsuke.

Anaerobic process
Anaerobic processes produce high energy materials like methane which can be captured and burned as an
energy source, and used to power gas-burning appliances or internal combustion engines, or to generate
electricity.

Bioclimatic design
A design concept that is based on local climate, aimed at providing thermal and visual comfort, making use of
solar energy and other environmental sources.

Clinical waste
The Ministry of Health Malaysia defines clinical waste as:

• any waste which consists wholly or partly of human or animal tissue, blood or other bodily fluids, excretions,
drugs or other pharmaceutical products, swabs or dressings, syringes, needles or other sharp instruments,
being waste which unless rendered safe may prove hazardous to any person coming into contact with it.

• any other waste arising from medical, nursing, dental, veterinary, pharmaceutical or similar practices,
investigation, treatment, care, teaching or research, or the collection of blood for transfusion, being waste,
which may cause infection to any person coming into contact with it.

• also, a type of scheduled waste listed in the First Schedule of Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes)
Regulations 2005 (Code: SW 404).

Effluents
Waste that pour into water and air. Liquid factory waste, smoke, and raw sewage can all be called effluents.

E-Waste
A type of scheduled waste listed in the First Schedule of Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations
2005. (e.g. code: SW102 – Waste of lead-acid batteries in whole or crushed form and SW103 – Waste of
batteries containing cadmium and nickel or mercury or lithium).

Glossary

Green geogrids
Geogrids are used in separation, stabilisation, and reinforcement applications. They are frequently used in
construction below the stone base to extend the life of the pavements and to stabilise soft soils and reinforce
retaining walls.

Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Version)
The Standard provides requirements and guidance for companies and other organisations preparing a
corporate-level GHG emissions inventory. The standard covers the accounting and reporting of seven
greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol – carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O),
hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PCFs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3).

Inert waste
Waste that is neither chemically nor biologically reactive and will not decompose such as sand and concrete.

Leachate
Water that has passed through waste and contains dissolved and suspended material is termed leachate. It may
contaminate other sources.

Municipal Solid Waste

More commonly known as trash or garbage – consists of everyday items we use and then throw away, such as
product packaging, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps and newspapers.

Scheduled Waste
Scheduled waste is any waste falling within the categories of waste listed in the First Schedule of Environmental
Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations 2005. Scheduled waste is by nature very toxic and dangerous.
Improper management of such waste will lead to serious pollution of the environment and the ecosystem as
well as immediate long-term impact on human health.
The waste management sector is undergoing rapid
transformation. The drive to innovate is a key aspect
for us to surf the waves of change. It is for this
purpose that we are constantly looking for better
ways of working, breakthrough technologies and
building deeper connections in the community.

Ultimately, our focus is to be a one-stop solution

for today and tomorrow. Helmed by greener
mindsets, we are looking forward to scale the
resource-resilient economy.
