IWK partners with Langkawi hoteliers on wastewater management sustainability

Indah Water Konsortium (IWK), the national sewerage company, has initiated a partnership with hotel entrepreneurs in Langkawi. The collaboration focuses on the sustainable management of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) and wastewater. This initiative is crucial for maintaining the environmental quality of the popular tourist island.

The agreement was solidified through a joint statement of support signed by IWK and the Malaysian Hotel Association's Kedah and Perlis chapters. This signifies a commitment from both the utility provider and the hospitality industry to address wastewater challenges effectively.

The partnership is expected to lead to improved wastewater treatment processes within hotels, directly contributing to the preservation of Langkawi's natural environment and its appeal as a tourist destination. By working together, IWK and the hotel sector aim to set a benchmark for sustainable tourism management.
