Malaysia – Solid Waste Management Centre

Development of a solid waste management centre

Worldwide Holdings Berhad is currently in the process of developing an Integrated Solid Waste Management Centre (ISWMC) in Jeram, Selangor. It will include a waste-to-energy (WtE) plant, composting plant, material recovery facility (MRF), anaerobic digestion plant and a research and development facility.

Contracts were signed for the WtE plant this month and development will take place across two phases. The project is expected to be completed in 2025.

The focus is on Egypt for our latest Global Waste Investment Fact File, where we cover 9 waste projects worth an estimated US$570 million.

Key points from this Fact File

• Recycling is the leading project type, accounting for US$230 million or 40% of the total. This is followed by incineration (with energy recovery), accounting for US$141 million or 25% of the total.
• The total estimated capacity of these projects in 1.7 million tonnes. This is equal to 194,065 tonnes per project on average and 8% of Egypt’s annual waste generation.
• Waste investments totalling US$371 million are expected to become operational over the next few years. This is currently expected to peak in 2020 at US$230 million.
