Councils determined to recycle food waste

The machines at the SS2 composting facility are designed to break food waste into fertiliser, enzymes and biogas. The project aims to raise public awareness on the crucial need for food waste composting. Profits has not become the main priority. Its current goal is to stay in operation for two years. — Photos: Ricky Lai and Grace Chen/The Star

Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) and Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) have embarked on food waste recycling programmes.

Despite several setbacks that cost them in terms of effort, time and money, both the local councils are adamant to forge ahead with the programme favouring awareness instead of stressing on the enforcement.
