KDEBWM targets 80% Euro-5 lorry use by year-end
KLANG: KDEB Waste Management (KDEBWM) is targeting 80 per cent use of environmentally friendly Euro 5-spec roll-on-roll-off (RORO) trucks for cleaning operations in Selangor by the end of this year. KDEBWM managing director Datuk Ramli Mohd Tahir said the company was set to receive 47 vehicles next month, with operations to begin immediately in areas under the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) and several other local authorities (PBT). 'So far, we have received six Euro 5 RORO lorries, and the remaining units are expected to arrive next month. 'Generally, asset assessments are carried out every five to six years, and based on current developments, KDEBWM has decided that this model is the most suitable,' he told reporters after the handover ceremony of the first batch of Fuso trucks here today. Ramli said the use of the model helped minimise nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon emissions, provided efficient fuel consumption without compromising engine performance, and added value to cleaning operations in Selangor. He said KDEBWM was operating with 1,400 units of machinery, including RORO and compactor lorries, and that the company remained committed to promoting greener operations in line with the government's goal of making Malaysia a carbon-neutral country by 2050. 'We hope that with the conversion to this new model chassis, we can reduce at least 30 to 40 per cent of the carbon dioxide emitted by the old chassis,' he said. Previously, Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad was reported as saying that Malaysia would begin implementing the use of Euro 5 petrol in September 2025, with full compliance expected by 2027, as a long-term measure to preserve the country's air quality.

Selangor implements sustainable recycling model via SELKitar
SHAH ALAM: The Selangor Recycling (SELKitar) Programme, which was launched yesterday, is the beginning of a long-term movement that focuses on circular economy, waste separation from sources and shared responsibility among stakeholders. State Public Health and Environment Committee chairman Jamaliah Jamaluddin said that as the most advanced and populous state in the country, Selangor generates over 7,000 tonnes of solid waste daily, with most of them still ending up being dumped at landfills. 'Recognising this fact, the state government has made sustainable waste management the foundation of the state's environmental strategy, namely prioritising source separation, advancing circular economy practices and enhancing the role of local authorities in driving long-term transformation,' she said in a statement today. Yesterday, the Selangor government, through KDEB Waste Management (KDEBWM), signed a collaboration with Nestle Malaysia to strengthen recycling through door-to-door collection under SELKitar, which is expected to begin in May in several areas under the Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) and Sepang Municipal Council (MPS). Elaborating, Jamaliah said that through the First Selangor Plan (RS-1), the state government has begun switching from the 'collect and dispose' model to an approach that focuses on recycling based on resource efficiency, value recovery and citizen responsibility. She said the launch of phase one of the SELKitar Programme, which was witnessed by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari yesterday, is an important step towards realising that approach. 'The SELKitar Programme is not just a strong environmental policy for Selangor but one that also reflects a new approach to engaging the community in sustainable waste management. 'It reflects the belief that sustainability is not just a slogan but about creating an ecosystem that functions for all parties,' she said. Jamalliah added that SELKitar also has a long-term vision, where its infrastructure is supported by education, awareness and behavioural change.

Nestle Malaysia Collaborates With KDEBWM To Expand SAVE Project In Selangor
SHAH ALAM, April 22 (Bernama) -- Nestlé Malaysia today expanded its Door-to-Door Collection and Recycling Project (SAVE project) in Selangor through the introduction of the SELKitar Programme. The programme, in collaboration with KDEB Waste Management (KDEBWM), was launched to strengthen its commitment to addressing plastic waste, thus increasing the rate of household recycling throughout Selangor. Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari witnessed the signing of the collaboration between Nestlé Malaysia chief executive officer Juan Aranols and KDEBWM managing director Datuk Ramli Mohd Tahir at the Shah Alam Convention Centre. Also present was state Public Health and Environment Committee chairman Jamaliah Jamaluddin. Amirudin, in his speech, said the state government welcomed the implementation of environmental sustainability initiatives like the SELKitar Programme, which can raise awareness towards the environment in Selangor. He said the implementation of Act 672 in Selangor showed the state government's commitment to waste management practices that are uniform and sustainable, while the partnership reflected its belief that progress can only be achieved through sustained joint efforts. "This strategic collaboration is in tandem with the priorities outlined under Selangor's Budget 2025 to reduce waste in local municipalities and reduce reliance on landfills,' he said. Meanwhile, Juan Aranols said the SELKitar Programme represents a meaningful extension to their ongoing Project SAVE, which is a tangible demonstration of the company's commitment to tackling plastic waste and promoting the circular use of resources. He added that the continued expansion of the Door to Door Collection and Recycling Programme moved them closer to their vision of a Malaysia free of plastic waste, where post-consumer packaging is sustainably managed through effective collection systems.

'This partnership with KDEBWM reinforces Nestle's global pledge to achieve plastic neutrality by 2025, ensuring that none of our packaging ends up in landfills or oceans,' he added. Jamaliah, as the project leader, said the SELKitar Programme is not only aligned with the state's effective environmental policies but also a step forward in terms of how to engage the community for the long term. 'By combining infrastructure with education and awareness, we intend to create a state that is ready to recycle and capable of building a more sustainable future,' she said. Launched in 2020, the SAVE Project is a large-scale programme by Nestle Malaysia together with local municipal councils in the Klang Valley that has now reached over 200,000 households and prevented over 33,000 tonnes of waste, including over 20,000 tonnes of plastic, from being dumped into landfills and the sea.
