Selari dengan misi tersebut serta bersempena Program Santun Ramadan 2025, AFES telah memperkenalkan Recovery Initiative Sustainable Eco-facility (RISE KL) – sebuah pusat pemerolehan bahan kitar semula dan fasiliti Material Recovery Facility (MRF) – kepada pihak Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL). Langkah ini bertujuan bagi meningkatkan kesedaran masyarakat akan kepentingan kitar semula serta, memperkasakan pengurusan sisa mampan di ibu negara, sejajar dengan aspirasi kerajaan menjadikan Kuala Lumpur bandaraya rendah karbon dan lestari.
Mengetuai lawatan adalah Dr. Umi Binti Ahmad, JMW, AMW, Pengarah Jabatan Kesihatan Dan Alam Sekitar, DBKL, dimana mereka berpeluang menyaksikan sendiri bagaimana konsep Ekonomi Kitaran (Circular Economy) diterapkan dalam operasi kitar semula di Pusat Kitar Semula Pandu Lalu AEON BiG, Wangsa Maju, di bawah kendalian AFES. Lawatan ini bukan sekadar tinjauan, tetapi juga membuka ruang untuk DBKL memahami dengan lebih mendalam peranan pusat ini dalam memperkasakan amalan kitar semula yang lebih mampan di bandaraya.
Menurut Ketua Pegawai Operasi AFES, Azral Sufian, kehadiran pihak DBKL dalam program ini membuktikan kesungguhan memperkukuhkan usaha kolaboratif antara kedua belah pihak dalam menjadikan Kuala Lumpur sebuah bandaraya mesra alam demi kesinambungan kelestarian persekitaran dapat dikekalkan.
“RISE KL bukan sekadar sebuah fasiliti pengurusan kitar semula, tetapi juga merupakan pusat pendidikan yang memberi pengetahuan komprehensif mengenai amalan terbaik dalam kitar semula dan pengasingan sisa. Dengan kapasiti menguruskan sebanyak 65 tan sisa setiap
hari, fasiliti ini menyokong aspirasi kerajaan untuk meningkatkan kadar kitar semula negara kepada 40% menjelang 2025,” ujar beliau.
Sejak beroperasi pada tahun 2022, fasiliti RISE KL telah menguruskan sebanyak 5,324.1 tan metrik barangan kitar semula pada tahun tersebut, 6,108.9 tan metrik pada tahun 2023 dan angka ini meningkat kepada 7,012.7 tan metrik menjelang akhir tahun 2024. Ini membuktikan keberkesanan inisiatif AFES sebagai peneraju dalam meningkatkan kesedaran masyarakat dalam usaha kitar semula barangan terpakai.
