Environmental Responsibility
Pollution and Resources

Our Approach
QL embraces circular economy principles by balancing resource conservation with responsible consumption, applying life cycle approach where feasible. We adopt waste hierarchy focusing on reducing, reusing, recycling, and recovering waste to minimise its impact across our operations. Wherever feasible, we convert waste generated from productions and along our supply chain into valuable resources. This helps reduce reliance on raw materials and lessens our environmental footprint. Any remaining waste is disposed of through licensed contractors.
We also work to improve resource efficiency by converting waste to energy and applying technologies that optimise material usage and lower energy consumption. Our employees are trained to manage industrial effluent and hazardous waste in accordance with legal requirements.
In addition, we support circular economy efforts beyond our own operations by providing renewable energy and water treatment solutions to other industries.
