Tex Cycle Contribution to the Community
GPS – Global Positioning System is installed in all Tex Cycle trucks therefore providing assurance to customers and enforcement officers on the location and logistic of the scheduled waste. Provide higher esteem and integrity to the scheduled waste management industry and an accountability of the ‘cradle to grave’ system for the waste contractors.
Cross Training – Tex Cycle encourages cross training on mock emergency drills between customers. The training will be carried out either here in Tex Cycle premises or at the customer’s side. These trainings help to provide an opportunity for Tex Cycle’s staff to access their own knowledge against customer’s method of training. School Programmes – Tex Cycle encourages students especially from higher secondary school to visit and participate in Tex Cycle School Environmental programmes. Tex Cycle has prepared a couple of educational programmes which can be adapted for schools’ field activity on environmental awareness. The conference room in Tex Cycle will be able to accommodate a group of 50-60 students.
The programme will usually take around two and half hours inclusive of breaks. Students will have the opportunity to understand the process of a scheduled waste recycling and recovery plant, hands-on JAR test in the wastewater area, hands-on group activities on creating new products from household waste, understand the benefits and opportunity to start a 3Rs programme in their own school. If a school displays interest in having a green area within its premises, Tex Cycle will be honoured to provide consultations and sponsor projects on condition that the project is carried out by the students themselves. Working gloves are also provided to the students by Tex Cycle.
These gloves are clean cotton gloves which are no longer needed by the industry. After use, the gloves will be collected and returned to Tex Cycle for cleaning and reused.  Community Services – Tex Cycle also welcomes participating community members which are keen in environmental awareness programmes. The programmes are divided between adult and school groups. Adult groups are given a detailed presentation on the history, processes and relevant information on Tex Cycle, followed by a plant tour and finally Q&A session. The programme provides an alternative perspective on the concept of recycling and awareness towards scheduled waste management. The message in this programme is to encourage community to be responsible for their own environmental health and should not always depend on the government for enforcement.
The programmes for youths emphasize more on the different type of waste besides solid waste, hazard of toxic waste and the methods of disposing toxic waste. The youth programmes also explore the opportunity of 3Rs in school and at home. National Service – Tex Cycle was one of the host for the 2006 National Service trainees on environmental programme. The presentation presented was similar to the school presentation format, with a line tour and hands-on experience on JAR test at the wastewater treatment plant.Support to University – Tex Cycle was also the host for university research and internship.
Tex Cycle supports the universities by providing research funds and required information for the research related with the industry. Support to Customer – Provide support for customers’ EMS, ISO14001 certification and environmental programme. Assist customers with their regulation and compliance issues regarding to contaminated rags/wipes/gloves and containers.
The benefits of working with customers will be felt by both in industry and also within the community.
Support to Supplier – Besides cooperating with our customers, Tex Cycle also encourages our  suppliers/contractors to pursue and achieve their own environmental goals. Tex Cycle provides relevant information regarding such as Tex Cycle environmental policy, health and safety policy, regulations and requirements. Tex Cycle staffs too are annually trained by selected suppliers which supply us with LPG gas and chemical on handling and safety.Support to Government – Tex Cycle also cooperates hand in hand with the enforcement. We have participated in the Selangor state and national Environmental week (MASM) exhibition, bringing scheduled waste management awareness to community within Selangor and the whole of Peninsular Malaysia.
Tex Cycle has become the popular awareness ground for DOE staff and has received visits from DOE officers from various states. New officers are given the opportunity to understand the process of recycling and recovery in the scheduled waste industry.
