Universiti Malaya to Explore Consultancy Project Partnership on Carbon Footprints Project (CFP)
with Schaefer Kalk (M) Sdn. Bhd.
Initial Discussion: 7 April 2022 (Thursday) 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm via Google Meet

 

Schaefer Kalk (M) Sdn Bhd

With a production of high quality precipitated Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Hydroxides, and Calcium Oxides, Schaefer Kalk (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. established in 1995 (a 100% owned by Schaefer Kalk GmbH & Co, KG, Germany) has approached UM Sustainability and Development Centre (UM SDC) for partnership. 

Annually, the company's capacity to produce 70,000 tonnes of precipitated calcium carbonate, 100,000 tonnes of calcium hydroxide, and calcium oxide is more than 140,000 metric tonnes. The partnership proposal is derived from the Schaefer Kalk (Malaysia)'s sustainability strategies toward Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) as part of their analysis process to identify risks and growth opportunities while aiming to be on par with its competitors. Schaefer Kalk (M) put forth a collaboration proposal to Universiti Malaya in co-producing a carbon footprints report, including the element of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) focusing on Cradle-to-Gate assessment. 

With guidance from UM Industry Liaison Office (UM ILO), UM Consultancy Unit (UPUM) is now helming the coordination of this proposal as a consultancy project between Schaefer Kalk (M) Sdn Bhd and Universiti Malaya researchers working in the area of carbon footprint. 

UM SDC wishes to extend our gratitude to the following names for their time spent sharing their experts' inputs and advice. :

  1. Professor Dr. Nik Meriam Nik Sulaiman (Advisor of UM SDC).

  2. Professor Dr. Sumiani Yusoff (Director, Institute of Ocean & Earth Sciences - Principal Coordinator of UM Zero Waste Campaign).

  3. Dr. Bong Yii Bonn (Acting Director of UM ILO)
