The procedure for handling the scheduled waste is summarised below:
1. The operator ensures all generated scheduled wastes are properly stored in relevant containers.
2. Contaminated parts are cleaned with diesel before being disposed of at the scrap storage area.
3. Once the drum is full, it is transferred to the scheduled waste store. The total quantity of waste is recorded in a record book.
4. The Waste Management Team (WMT) leader submits the records to the DOE on a monthly basis.
5. The WMT calls for disposal of waste 180 days from the date the waste was generated or when the quantity reaches 20 MT, whichever comes first.
PPES Works (Sarawak) adopts stringent scheduled waste practices which are also part of its Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental
Monitoring Programme. The Company does not produce high quantities of scheduled waste.
The Group does not produce or transport any waste deemed hazardous under the terms of the Basel Convention Annex I, II, III, and VIII.

for cement plant stacks
Long-Term
To reduce emission from main stacks below
the stipulated requirements under the
guidelines of Clean Air Regulation 2014 (i.e.
clinker plants below 50 µg/m

AIR EMISSIONS, NOISE, DUST AND VIBRATIONS
In the name of good environmental practices and conscientious
business processes, the Group continues to focus on conducting regular
environment monitoring to keep our practices within the regulatory
standards and to prevent industrial pollution.
CMS Cement Division is continuously focused on controlling their
environmental impact. Their environmental objectives and targets for
the short, medium and long-term can be seen in their emission control
goals listed as follows:
