We are dedicated to sustainable waste management in Malaysia and have adopted the 4R strategy of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover. Implementing the 4R strategy involves sort and separate waste at its source, ensuring proper labelling and facilitating recycling processes. As such, our waste segregation facilities consist of recycled waste for recycling and treatment centres, other municipal solid waste for authorised sanitary landfills and scheduled waste (including e-waste and chemical waste) managed by licensed third-party contractors. This scheduled waste is generated from maintenance, our Quality Control (QC) laboratory and Research and Development (R&D) activity.
We have achieved 87% recycle ratio from total Solid Waste
management (including Scheduled Waste and Non-Scheduled Waste)
Solid Waste Management
Reducing Food Loss
Ajinomoto (Malaysia) Berhad's is committed to reducing food loss to landfills to avoid wastage of natural resources. The focus will be throughout our supply chain processes by minimising the generation of food loss and utilising the un-avoided generation as sub-raw materials for animal feed production and fertiliser manufacturing.
We are driven to reduce plastic waste across our operations. Our goal is to minimise plastic usage in product packaging and accelerate our transition towards a circular economy and sustainable development.
Our plastic waste reduction initiatives include:
1) Increasing the recyclability of plastic and packaging materials
2) Reducing plastic generation by implementing measures
3) Embracing the EPR framework in collaboration with the MAREA to enhance the collection and recycling rate of our packaging materials for our sold products
