Lam Chong Group

What Lam Chong Group does

Lam Chong Group is a privately held Malaysian waste management and recycling company founded in 1989 and headquartered in Taman Perindustrian Krubong, Melaka. The company operates a total waste management model in which it collects, transports, processes, recycles, and disposes of both general rubbish and scheduled (hazardous) wastes from industrial clients, while also recovering ferrous and non-ferrous metals — including precious metals such as Gold, Silver, Palladium, and Platinum — and producing finished metal goods (Silver, Gold, Zinc, Copper powder, Tin ingot) and recycled plastic resin.

The operational backbone is a set of wholly-owned subsidiaries that segregate activities by license and function: Krubong Recovery Sdn. Bhd. operates the Full Recovery Center under the Department of Environment's Full Recovery License; Lam Chong Trading Sdn. Bhd. handles total waste management solutions; and Karich entities focus on plastic recycling (LMW). The group holds a Full Recovery License from DOE, a Police license, and more than 23 scheduled waste licenses (SW 104 through SW 423) covering highly specialized waste streams including cyanide sludge, halogenated solvents, E-waste, and photographic waste. Core technology includes wet scrubber systems for acid/alkaline leaching, industrial effluent treatment, and laboratory analysis using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) and Arc Spark methodologies. Logistics infrastructure comprises 25 trucks (3-ton through 40ft container configurations), 150 bin units, GPS/DF tracking, and a 100-ton daily clearance capacity, processing over 23,000 tons of waste annually.

Commercially, Lam Chong generates revenue through transaction-fee metal recycling and recovery services, professional services fees for waste management, and chemical solutions for the plating industry (Potassium Gold Cyanide, Potassium Silver Cyanide, Silver Cyanide). The business is B2B enterprise field sales, targeting manufacturing and industrial companies, with particular depth in the plating sector. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct, with single-country (Malaysia) geographic scope. The company is recognized with a Top 10 Green Products and Services Companies in Malaysia award and a Global Green Award from the Management & Consulting Association, Paris.
