Strategic Partnership for a Sustainable Future: IBSD, UiTM & Daiki Aluminium 🌍♻️
July 30, 2026, was a significant day for the Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainable Development (IBSD) at UiTM. We were honored to host a delegation from Daiki Aluminium Industry (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. for a productive preliminary meeting to discuss future collaborations.
We were joined by Daiki’s Director, Mr. Abd Hisam Abd Ghani, General Manager / Director Mr.Naga Thevan T. and Technical Manager, Mr. Toshiki Hashimoto, to explore meaningful synergies between academia and the industry.
As a global leader in aluminium recycling with over a century of heritage, Daiki Aluminium’s commitment to the circular economy and decarbonisation aligns perfectly with our vision at IBSD. Our discussion centered on several impactful areas:
Joint Research: Focusing on carbon footprint reduction, energy efficiency, life cycle assessment (LCA), and sustainable manufacturing.
Talent Development: Creating opportunities for student internships, industrial training, and final-year projects.
Knowledge Exchange: Establishing technical seminars and guest lecture series to bridge the gap between industrial challenges and academic solutions.
ESG & Innovation: Working hand-in-hand to support Malaysia’s circular economy agenda through collaborative innovation.
We are incredibly enthusiastic about the prospects of this partnership. By combining UiTM’s academic expertise with Daiki’s industrial leadership, we aim to develop future talent and foster sustainable industrial practices that benefit our planet and our community.
Thank you to the Daiki Aluminium team for visiting us and for the shared commitment to "Leading Change" toward a more sustainable future.
