The firm is also converting biodegradable wastes into renewable energy via an advanced landfill gas harvesting system and gas engines for connection to the national power grid. BEP's 12MW Landfill Gas-to-Energy plant is currently the largest waste-to-renewable energy producer in the country since 2013. Offering a Wide Range of Solutions across IndustriesIn 2015, BEP collaborated with Amita Corporation to venture into the scheduled/hazardous waste management and recycling business. Today, with an annual capacity of 55,000 tons, the Scheduled Waste Co-Processing Recycling Plant in BTEP is the first recycling plant in Malaysia to produce Alternative Raw Material (ARM) and achieve a 100 percent recycling rate. The firm has also achieved a total accumulative carbon credits of 2.7 million CO2 equivalent tons in 2020, ranking No.1 in the South East Asia region by UNFCCC and World Bank. In 2020, in collaboration with J&T Recycling Corporation Japan and JFE Engineering (M), BTEP expanded its venture into the scheduled/hazardous waste business by incorporating an integrated Sustainable Scheduled Waste Treatment Center (SSWTC) facility for higher operating capacities and a full range of treatment capabilities. Starting its full-scale operations in March 2024, SSWTC provides total solutions to customers in the industrial, medical, and public utility sectors.Today, BTEP has a total capacity of 105,000 tons per annum across its facilities to adequately treat, recycle, and dispose of all types of scheduled/hazardous waste except radioactive or explosive ones. "Our integrated facility in BTEP is the first in Peninsular Malaysia to provide a total solution for both solid and scheduled/hazardous waste while complying with the authorities' standards. We adopt proven technologies and conduct detailed assessments & research to establish operation guidelines and pre-handling methods that are cost-efficient and appropriate for the local operational conditions towards achieving sustainability", Koh explains.Accomplishments & Leadership ValuesAn inspiring leader, Koh's core leadership values include setting long and short-term goals, the right standards, and KPIs for excellence and innovation in career development and environmental stewardship. A strong advocate of establishing a conducive and harmonious working environment, he strongly believes in efficient training for junior and senior executives with a strong focus on dual-way communications as well as idea formation for practical solutions. Throughout his extensive career, Koh, along with his team, has been a part of building and operating several landmark waste management facilities that support the Government and the communities in providing the best solutions for solid and scheduled/hazardous waste management with a constant emphasis on the sustainable circular economy and cradle-to-cradle concept. Future RoadmapComing to the future roadmap, in the next five years, Koh foresees BTEP to have a significant shift in revenue driven by both the concessionary businesses of solid waste & landfill gas management and the private sector businesses of scheduled/hazardous waste management recycling, treatment, and disposal services, positioning them within the niche and specialized segment as the key integrated solid waste and scheduled/hazardous waste facility in South East Asia Region and beyond. His primary goal is to have BEP as the nation's preferred solid and scheduled/hazardous waste management service provider. "Moving forward, I intend to further expand our solid and scheduled/hazardous waste businesses to support the ESG agenda in Malaysia and Asia. While creating value for investors should be the priority, it is also crucial to foster a sense of responsibility and stewardship towards protecting the environment for future generations", Koh signs off.
