The company

Sunway Big Box Mall and Citrine Hub represent over 500,000 sq ft of prime retail space in Johor, serving as a major shopping destination with diverse tenants and high daily foot traffic.

With four separate refuse chambers managing waste from numerous retail outlets, restaurants, and service providers, the mall needed unified visibility and sustainable waste management practices to maintain operational excellence and environmental responsibility.

The challenge

Sunway Big Box Mall and Citrine Hub, with over 500,000 sq. ft. of retail space and four refuse chambers, faced key challenges in their waste management.

Needed to manage multiple vendors

This created inefficiencies.

No visibility into each refuse chamber

Data was not captured or tracked.

Relied on manual processes

Like paper collection chits and phone calls for coordination.

Existing vendors provided no recycling support

This resulted in a 0% recycling rate.

The solution

GarGeon implemented an integrated, digital-first waste management system.

1

One-stop platform

Consolidated all services under GarGeon. This eliminated the need to manage multiple vendors.

2

GarGeon Connect

Enabled real-time tracking of waste volume, tonnage, and activity for each of the four refuse chambers. This gave management full visibility.

3

Digitalised operations

Automated collection tracking, service proof, and reporting. This reduced reliance on paper chits and manual phone calls.

4

Recycling program integration

Introduced sorting and recycling initiatives to divert recyclable items away from landfills.

The results

After adopting GarGeon's solution, Sunway Big Box Mall and Citrine Hub achieved:

15% recycling rate

8% cost savings
