Tex Cycle partners Evolusi Bersatu for Sabah’s first integrated waste management facility
Tex Cycle Technology (M) Bhd’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Tex Cycle Sdn Bhd (TCSB) has partnered with Evolusi Bersatu Sdn Bhd to launch Sabah’s first integrated scheduled waste management facility.
Tex Cycle Sdn Bhd, licensed by the Department of Environment Malaysia, specialises in sustainable solutions for scheduled waste management.
In a statement, Tex Cycle announced that the newly developed facility by Tex Evolusi Waste Management Sdn Bhd (JV), a collaboration between Tex Cycle Sdn Bhd and Evolusi Bersatu Sdn Bhd, aims to complement existing scheduled waste management providers.
It focuses on local waste treatment to cut costs, emissions, and ensure legal compliance and environmental responsibility, instead of shipping waste to Semenanjung.
Additionally, the facility is tailored to serve various industries and offers comprehensive waste management solutions, especially in the oil and gas sector.
“This initiative is a significant milestone in our commitment to protecting the environment and contributing to the well-being of our communities. It also aligns with Sabah’s broader efforts in creating over 150 job opportunities and conserving our natural resources.
“Through innovative approaches like the cradle-to-cradle concept and our advanced recovery and recycling technologies, we aim to maximise resource efficiency while minimising environmental impact,” Tex Evolusi Waste managing director Muhamad Tolling said.
Tex Evolusi Waste is investing RM100mil in this facility to advance waste management in Sabah. Construction starts in the second half of 2024, aiming for full operations by the fourth quarter of 2025.
Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said: “This facility represents a significant step in our journey towards a cleaner and more sustainable Sabah. By prioritising environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors alongside economic growth, we are creating a pathway for a brighter, greener future for the state. This initiative not only aligns with our Sabah Maju Jaya vision, but it also supports our commitment to fostering sustainable practices across industries. We believe it will attract more foreign investors who share our ESG values.”
