A solid waste management process via a mobile bioconversion system, currently used by the Shah Alam City Council, has the potential to be extended to other local authorities, said state executive councilor for public health and the environment Jamaliah Jamaluddin.
The approach formulated by biotechnology company Entomal Biotech Sdn Bhd (Entomal) to manage food waste using black soldier fly (BSF) larvae can reduce costs and improve waste management sustainability.
“I hope there will be more councils supporting this initiative, as in the end, we want sustainability in solving food waste or handling waste management issues.
“I have high hopes because just now, based on the explanation, not only are they handling food waste or waste management, but also producing products from the waste management for sustainability,” she said.
Jamaliah was speaking to Selangor Journal after officiating Entomal’s exhibit during the Selangor International Business Summit (SIBS) 2023 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre today.
