Affin Gets On Board With Klang River Rehabilitation Project
AFFIN Group takes up position in the environment after the bank committed to sponsorship for the operation of the Interceptor 002 to support the cleaning and rehabilitation of the last 56-kilometre stretch of Klang River through this high-tech and environmentally friendly solution.
The Interceptor 002, developed by The Ocean Cleanup, is the first out of two high-tech river cleanup solutions currently deployed in Malaysia. The autonomous system incorporates smart processing and solar-powered mechanics and continuously collects plastic waste and other debris from the river using a conveyor belt. The Interceptor helps to improve the existing cleanup efficiency, making for quicker and more scalable cleanup. To date, more than 2 million kg of trash have been removed by Interceptor 002, and with AFFIN’s support, we envisage that it will continue to play a critical role in the river cleanup efforts.
The collaboration between AFFIN and Landasan Lumayan is seen as way way to raise awareness and advocacy on river conservation, flood prevention, and the preservation of the surrounding ecosystem that will have a positive impact on the environment and local communities along the Klang River, managed by LLSB in its role as the Master Developer of the Selangor Maritime Gateway project.
