ASEAN Circular Economy Business Alliance Info Sheet

Around Malaysia, a number of businesses are prospering from innovation and collaboration in their processes and value chains that avoid waste and improve the efficiency and longevity of materials use. Geomax Rubber collects end-of-life nitrile rubber gloves, upcycles these into recycled rubber compound that is transformed into rubber soles for footwear. Kloth Circularity collects, sorts and repurposes textile and garment waste into new textile products. Entomal, Bioloop and Sentara Group, for example, are utilizing Black Soldier Flies larvae to convert organic waste into protein rich animal feed and nutrient rich bio-fertilizer. FatHopes Energy collects and refines Used Cooking Oil for use in sustainable aviation fuel. These initiatives are exemplary for the Circular Economy – and provide a call-to-action for businesses and other organizations in Malaysia and beyond.
