Back in October, the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA) launched MyHijau label project. According to the Minister YB Datuk Sri Peter Chin, "In
line with the National Green Technology Policy, the programme will push
Malaysian manufacturers to produce more competitive goods and services
by incorporating environmental attributes to meet local and global
market demand." It is not just promoting environmental-friendly
goods and services but also streamlining various environmental labeling
practices by Malaysia companies. This project will allow consumers to identify and select products and
services based on environmental factors.
Electrical appliances, food and beverage, construction
materials, household products, stationery and office supplies,
furniture and packaging, clothing, agricultural and timber
products will all be part of the project that can be certified with MyHijau label. Businesses with products or services certified with the
MyHijau label stand to benefit from improved eligibility for green
procurement projects in the future.
Join force with Malaysian Green Technology Corporation, KeTTHA established a mechanism to ensure smooth and consistent
coordination among various agencies, certification bodies, academic and
research institutions and other existing scheme operators.
