Waste Management

Our Goal become Zero Waste Company

With the global trade rising and expected to peak in coming decade, as a port & logistics sector company our aim is to reduce the amount of waste that we generate and, to ensure the waste we generate is 100% reused or recycled – whether for the same purpose or for a secondary use.

Our initiatives are guided by four major goals under the Zero Waste Initiative which follow 5R Principles (Reduce, Reuse, Reprocess, Recycle and Recover):

Zero Waste to Landfill
Zero Incineration
Zero Unauthorized Disposal
Zero Effluent Discharge
