FIMA CORPORATION BERHAD

Annual Report

2016

Waste Management

The Group’s palm oil mill in Indonesia practices “zero

waste” policy in the processing plant whereby the

by-products of the palm oil mill such as empty fruit

bunches and treated palm oil mill effluent are converted

into organic fertilizer or compost which is then applied

directly to oil palm fields as a source of nutrients and

to supplement fertilizer application. We monitor and

treat all effluent and wastewater before discharging

into the natural waterways. The organic materials in

the wastewater are broken down by natural activities

of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. This process

eliminates the need to add chemicals before the water

is discharged and this had resulted in successful fish

breeding at the final effluent pond.

At the Manufacturing Division, hazardous wastes and

residual products recovered from the manufacturing

operations are disposed of in accordance with stringent

industry standards and statutory requirements.
