5E Resources At a Glance
Where ESG Meets Profitability
Few companies embed ESG so deeply into their operations. 5E Resources not only drives a circular economy in scheduled waste management but also delivers strong financial performance, with revenue growing from RM65.0M to RM80.1M and net profit sustained above RM15M every year. Gross profit margin held at a consistent 45% - 50% throughout the period.
A Licence Position That Is Hard To Replicate
5E Resources holds licences for 34 of 77 scheduled waste categories-among the broadest in the industry. These licences, issued by the Department of Environment, reflect years of regulatory compliance, advanced infrastructure, and technical expertise. Backed by advanced technology and strong operational capabilities, 5E Resources operates safely and efficiently in a highly regulated sector that few can match.
Paid To Collect. Paid Again When They Sell.
Customers pay 5E Resources to remove their hazardous waste. The Group then recovers and recycles metals and materials - silver, copper, palladium, solvents - and sells them for additional revenue. In FY2024, this contributed RM11.1M (13.8%) of total revenue, plus RM3.93M in internal cost savings - enhancing profitability beyond traditional waste management models.
Deep Customer Loyalty Across 459 Accounts
Switching waste management providers is operationally complex and requires DOE re-approval. As a result, 80% of their top 5 customers have remained with the Group for 5 to 15 years for the FY2024. In FY2024, the Group served 459 active customers.
Company Background
With 28 years in the industry and 459 active clients, 5E Resources is one of Malaysia's most established industrial waste management companies. From semiconductor fabs to pharmaceutical plants, factories depend on 5E Resources to legally and safely handle their hazardous waste and to maximise the value of waste through recovery and recycling.
