BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, March 17 (Xinhua)-- Brunei plans to build its own waste incinerator plant, which will be operational by 2029, a minister said at Brunei's Legislative Council on Monday.

The contract on such a project is scheduled to be signed in October 2026, Haji Muhammad Juanda, Brunei's minister of Development has said.

The minister said, the waste-to-energy plant will be equipped with 25 megawatt capacity daily. Currently, the project is at the stage of request for proposal which is open in July 2025.

Before the plant is set in place, Brunei will enforce waste management regulations, take initiative to reduce waste and widen rubbish collection from house to house.

The minister said that besides generating electrical energy, it will also produce ash to be used in the horticulture and construction industry. Brunei produces between 500 and 600 tonnes of waste per day.

Data by the Ministry of Development shows that the waste produced by each person in Brunei is 1.21 kilograms per day.

For decades, the waste disposal has been done at the landfill in Tutong, the country's middle district. The landfill sits on a 104-hectare land and is forecast to reach its limit by 2030. Enditem
