Blue Planet boosted with US$10 million investment from Sysma Holdings

Sysma Holdings Limited has invested US$10 million in Singapore-based Blue Planet Environmental Solutons to accelerate efforts to deploy integrated, inclusive and sustainable waste management solutions, around the region. The investment marks Sysma Holdings entry into the sustainability sector.

Asia, accounting for 23 per cent of total waste produced globally, is the largest waste generating region in the world. The mismanagement of the waste generated due to the absence of formal infrastructure, is prevalent in Asia and results in a myriad of environmental and social problems. Some of the key challenges for waste management in Asia includes the integration of the fragmented waste sector and the financing of waste management systems in rapidly urbanizing areas.

As such, Blue Planet is creating an accessible and unique platform of technologies that can upcycle or recycle various streams of waste. This suite of technologies enables customers to extract financial value from waste processing by recovering valuable resources, mitigating carbon emissions and creating meaningful employment in local communities. According to an official statement, the company has more than fifty decentralized organic waste management units and five plastic waste processing units of various sizes across South Asia. Other services and technologies provided by Blue Planet include non-hazardous e-waste recovery, large-scale landfill remediation and green building waste solutions.
