Hazardous & Non-Hazardous Waste Management & Manufacturer
Overview
Since its inception in 1960, Shan Poornam Metals (SPM) has emerged as a trailblazer in hazardous waste management, evolving from a waste collection center to a regional leader in industrial waste management, with a relentless focus on Environmentally Sound Management (ESM) practices
The decision to establish SPM operations was propelled by the Group CEO, Dato’ Seri S. Selvakumar Chetty’s unwavering commitment to environmental conservation and visionary aspiration to lead the recycling industry, particularly in e-waste recovery & refining, across Malaysia and the broader region. The founder’s passion for environmental responsibility and the pursuit of trailblazing recycling practices towards Circular Economy laid the foundation for SPM’s success.
SPM’s commitment to Environmentally Sound Management (ESM) is reflected in its state-of-the-art ECO Green Technology and a dedicated Research and Development (R&D) team. Operating on a closed-loop recycling approach, SPM processes 5,000 MT per month of industrial solid and liquid waste. The transformation yields eco-friendly high quality recycled resources such as secondary aluminum alloy ingots, copper cathode, semiconductor compound, rare earth, gold, silver and platinum group metals like platinum, palladium and ruthenium which can be used in the manufacturing of new products. Such practices align seamlessly with UN Sustainable Development Goal 12, promoting responsible consumption and production.
Embracing the 5R’s Green Concept—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover, and Refining—SPM’s Ecogreen products, marketed under the ECO label “ENS” (Environment, Nature, and Society), contribute to the creation of a circular economy. This initiative positively impacts metal resources and reserves while safeguarding the environment from unsustainable mining practices.
A milestone for Shan Poornam is its ability to continuously innovate and evolve with the E&E industry to improve its recovery rates and breakthroughs in extracting metals and working towards zero waste.
Recognised by Cenviro Sdn. Bhd. in 2015, a subsidiary of Khazanah Nasional Berhad, with a significant 40% investment, SPM’s synergistic partnership strengthens Malaysia’s strategic assets in environmental conservation.
