SELANGOR, 29 Oct 2026 – Worldwide Holdings Bhd (WHB) has been recognised as Best Waste-to-Energy (WTE) Developer at the BusinessToday Industry Choice Awards 2026, marking another milestone in the Group’s journey to transform waste into value.
The recognition reflects WHB’s growing capabilities in WTE and its commitment to advancing modern waste management solutions that reduce reliance on landfills, recover value from waste and support the transition towards a low-carbon and circular economy.
Central to this journey is the Jeram Waste-to-Energy facility in Selangor, the largest WTE development. Its first plant commenced commercial operations in May 2026, marking a significant step forward in managing municipal solid waste while generating energy from waste that would otherwise be sent to landfill.
Beyond infrastructure, WHB’s WTE journey has also contributed to developing local talent and technical capabilities, providing opportunities for Malaysians to build expertise and experience in an increasingly important sector.
Ahmad Zaki Ahmad Zainuddin, Group Chief Executive Officer of WHB, said, “We are proud that our WTE journey is not only delivering critical infrastructure, but also building local capabilities and nurturing Malaysian talent in this sector. This is important as we develop the expertise needed to grow WTE further in Malaysia.”
“This award reflects our journey from managing waste to creating value from it. As Malaysia’s largest Waste-to-Energy developer, it inspires us to go further and establish Worldwide Holdings as a leading name in WTE across the country and beyond,” he added.
WHB will continue to build on its WTE experience and capabilities to support Malaysia’s transition towards more sustainable and resource-efficient waste management.
