Putting a lid on increasing garbage

WITH some 7.2 million people, the Klang Valley is home to a fifth of the country’s population and produces some 6,000 metric tonnes of solid waste every day. That is equal to 6,000,000kg bags of rice.

Greater Kuala Lumpur / Klang Valley is identified as a key focus area in the Federal Government’s Economic Transformation Programme (ETP), including developing an efficient solid waste management ecosystem.
