MELAKA: Hang Tuah Jaya Municipal Council (MPHTJ) and Sirim Berhad are working together to introduce a green technology called Anaerobic Digestion System (ADS).

“Studies show the system generates less greenhouse gases. A high concentration of methane gas from existing landfills is one of the major causes of global warming,” he said after launching the ADS at Melaka Mall here.
