Residents in a protest demonstration earlier today in Sungai Petani against illegal waste factories.
The department said five companies held approved permits for plastic waste, and each also held a compliance letter from the Environment Department. They are Plasticycle Industries Company, GC Plastic, YB Enterprise, Technology PP Industries and Green Mark Technology. “If approved by the state government, the companies would be allowed to operate only in designated industrial zones and only after compliance with the terms of technical agencies,” the department said.
