3R waste technology to rehabilitate Sandakan landfill
Davina SANDAKAN (July 22): Sandakan is set to make a leap forward in sustainable waste management with the launch of Sabah's first landfill rehabilitation project using globally patented 3R technology. IGNIS SG (Sabah) Sdn Bhd has officially signed a 12-year concession agreement, with an option to extend for another eight years, with the Sandakan Municipal Council (MPS). The agreement allows the company to rehabilitate the long-overdue Sungai Sibuga solid waste landfill, often referred to as a dead landfill. IGNIS SG Executive Director Dr Davina Marcus said the initiative addresses the mounting waste management challenges faced by Sandakan. 'This is something I've planned for a long time. I've seen with my own eyes how landfill sites are growing into mountains of unmanaged waste. The space keeps expanding, and I believe it's time for a new solution, one that tackles the problem and contributes to environmental sustainability without adding to the waste pile,' she said. Speaking during the launch of the Sungai Sibuga Landfill Rehabilitation Project on Tuesday, Davina said IGNIS SG has been given exclusive rights to develop and implement the rehabilitation works using IGNIS 3R technology, patented globally by its parent company, Ignis Environment Initiatives Sdn Bhd. 'This project will not only resolve long-standing waste disposal issues but also drive Sandakan towards green transformation,' she said. According to Davina, the IGNIS 3R system offers a comprehensive, non-incineration and non-toxic treatment process, supporting Malaysia's Net-Zero Emission 2050 target and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles. 'The technology enables processing of buried waste without prior segregation, using a closed-loop zero waste-to-landfill approach. It also allows for land recovery for future use, and the extraction of reusable materials from old waste.' She further explained that the project is fully funded under a Private Financing Initiative (PFI) by IGNIS SG (Sabah) Sdn Bhd, with support from EXIM Bank Malaysia, without financial backing from the state government or local authorities. 'This shows the financial sector's confidence in the project's viability and the effectiveness of IGNIS 3R technology on a commercial scale,' she added. Currently, the project is in its initial implementation phase, with site works and mobilisation of IGNIS 3R machinery underway. The Sandakan 3R Waste Rehabilitation Project is expected to be physically completed by July 2026. 'My hopes for this landfill project are very high. I want this to inspire others to commit to protecting the environment and freeing up landfill capacity that's becoming increasingly saturated with waste. 'I also hope this project will help reduce public health risks linked to environmental pollution, add value through land reuse, and contribute towards improving Sandakan's image as a city,' Davina said.

YSP to ramp up expansion plans, production
KUALA LUMPUR: YSP Southeast Asia Holding Bhd (YSP SAH), one of the top pharmaceutical manufacturers on the FBM KLCI by market capitalisation, is accelerating efforts to grow its presence in both domestic and international markets. Leveraging a combination of offline and online business strategies, the group aims to strengthen its presence in the increasingly competitive pharmaceutical sector. Rashica Lim Yin, head of business development strategy office, e-commerce and consumer healthcare at YSP Industries (M) Sdn Bhd, said the group is committed to growth, underpinned by a strong pipeline of new products and a sustained focus on research and development (R&D). "It's a potential business segment, but also very competitive. That's why we can't rest on our laurels. We must keep innovating and developing products that support the health and wellness of the community," Lim said at the unveiling of the company's latest innovation – the botanical beauty and wellness rituals series by GREENS – during the Greenstopia event in Kuala Lumpur last week. YSP SAH is among the top five pharmaceutical manufacturers in Malaysia. Its operations cover the R&D, manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, and trading of pharmaceutical products ranging from prescription medications and OTC (over-the-counter) remedies to consumer healthcare products, including traditional and complementary medicines. As part of its growth strategy, the company is sharpening its focus on exports, particularly within Asean markets, where demand for affordable quality healthcare products continues to rise in line with expanding private healthcare expenditure across the region. Asked whether current global economic headwinds have impacted operations, Lim said it remains "business as usual" for the company, supported by steady demand for affordable medicines and ongoing product innovation. YSP SAH continues to channel significant investment into R&D to fuel its product pipeline. The group's latest launch – the botanical beauty and wellness rituals series – is an example of this commitment. Lim noted that development for this latest innovation took three years, with its key raw materials sourced from Japan and South Korea. "We are very bullish about the potential of this product and the e-commerce exclusive GREENS series. Patented and clinically proven ingredients supported the product development that we use. We also did extensive market studies to validate demand and growth prospects," she added. Greenstopia, now running in its third year, combines community recycling initiatives with health education and wellness activities. Each Greenstopia edition, including the latest Greenstopia 3.0, encourages attendees to exchange recyclable items such as plastic, aluminium, paper, e-waste and clothing for fresh produce and refreshments, fostering both environmental awareness and community bonding, in line with the GREENS branding vision of creating products that are as close to nature and eco-friendly as possible and with sustainable sources. With a clear strategy to expand its domestic and export markets and a renewed push in health and wellness innovation, YSP SAH is positioning itself to capture new opportunities in an evolving healthcare landscape while reinforcing its standing as one of Malaysia's top pharmaceutical players.
