Citaglobal Bhd has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with China-based Shanghai SUS Environment Company Limited to collaborate on the development of waste-to-energy (WtE) projects in Malaysia. The companies will assess the feasibility of developing WtE plants in the country and plan to divert all waste from unsustainable landfills to WtE plants.
