JFE Engineering, a prominent Japanese engineering firm specialising in waste-to-energy plants, oil and gas facilities, pipelines, bridges, and other infrastructure projects worldwide, has launched its first overseas waste management project in Malaysia. The project received Malaysian government approval in July 2024. Together, they aim to develop and manage the Sustainable Scheduled Waste Treatment Centre in Malaysia.  The facility is designed to receive, treat, and dispose of clinical, toxic, and hazardous waste generated by medical facilities and various industries across the country. Through innovative heat recovery techniques from the incineration process, the project contributes to the circular economy. Recovered heat is used by an adjacent drying facility, enabling thermal recycling by reducing waste moisture content. As Malaysia faces increasing challenges with industrial waste pollution, JFE Engineering’s advanced technology ensures proper waste treatment in line with stringent air emission standards.
