Association of Industrial Waste Construction (SOWACO)
SOWACO formed in 1995 with 16 members, comprised of the larger and more established companies using the hook-lift system with detachable containers, specifically to service factories (as opposed to Alam Flora which specializes in Domestic waste, previously controlled by the town councils). The members avoid inter-member price under-cutting which would result in sub-standard services. As a group, they are trying to persuade government not to include their ICI (Industrial, commercial & Institutional) waste market under the "Waste Privatization" bill as their services have already been privatized to us by the respective town councils since the 70's. However, privatization can be considered if some additional value is added, with a consequent increase in revenue for members. Objective of SOWACO is to improve professionalism of Solid waste service providers.
