Secretary Iskandar Zulkarnain noted the plant, which can handle up to 25 tonnes of waste per day, is being optimized to produce Refuse‑Derived Fuel (RDF) briquettes, stating, ‘If the final product is in briquette form, its economic value is certainly more promising.’ Additionally, Mayor Muhammad Farhan announced the Gedebage Organic and Circular Waste Processing Site (TPOS) is targeted for completion by 2027 to process up to 300 tons of waste daily.
