FGV HOLDINGS BERHAD | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022/2023 87 WASTE During the year under review, FGV generated as estimated a total of 309,264.72 metric tonnes (MT) of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes in 2023. Due to its extensive footprint, FGV’s current waste data is not comprehensive. Moving forward, FGV is taking steps to ensure that our data collection process is robust and comprehensive. • In 2022 and 2023, MSM has been instrumental in waste management initiatives, aimed at providing communities with a sustainable future. • The mission includes revolutionising waste management practices through research on innovative technologies and global best practices, collaborating with environmental experts and promoting a circular economy. • Initiatives like the recycling of paper cores are carried out in collaboration with local businesses like E-Idaman and are intended to promote landfill diversion. MSM has supported the initiative by conducting waste segregation workshops and public awareness campaigns. • MSM is committed to recycling by sending scrap packaging materials for recycling. Mudcake, a by-product of sugar refinement, is sent to third parties for use as an alternative raw materials in fertiliser and cement production, diverting waste from landfills. KITARecycle programme • At the FGV Innovation Centre, we are committed to implementing proper recycling practices to reduce waste and minimise environmental impact by segregating items such as plastics, paper, cartridges, glass, and steel according to categories. FGV has engaged SWM Environment Sdn Bhd for once-a-month waste collection, as part of its KITARecycle programme, which provides redeemable points through a mobile application. c. Research and Development Centre Economically viable waste management • At downstream processes, wastes that are commonly generated are by-products such as sludge oil, scum and spent bleaching earth. • These by-products are not simply disposed of but recovered by selling them to third parties for further extraction. • Additionally, scrap metal generated from any maintenance or refurbishment activities is sold to third parties through the bidding and tendering processes. • In the LSB sector, an initiative to divert waste from disposal by Depot at FGV Transport Services involves collecting used tyres and selling them to collectors, who subsequently send the tyres to recycling factories. • Most business units in the sector ensure that scrap metal generated at their facilities is collected and sold for recycling.
