UEM EDGENTA BERHAD Integrated Annual Report 2025 160 Sustainable New Jersey Barrier – Project Harmony Project Harmony demonstrates collaborative innovation delivering enhanced road safety with lower environmental impact. The initiative between PLUS, CIMA and EIS produced Green Guard, a precast concrete New Jersey Barrier engineered to TL5 safety performance standards using recycled materials. Green Guard achieves approximately 60% CO₂ reduction compared to conventional barriers while maintaining structural integrity. Following proof-of-concept validation, the solution is progressing toward commercial approval targeted for 2026, supporting safer highways with reduced embodied carbon. We continue to advance this initiative through ongoing testing, stakeholder engagement and refinement of the design to ensure long-term adoption and impact.

This progression led to the establishment of the Asphalt Premix Plant with Recycling Facility, where PRC’s technical innovations are applied to commercial scale recycled asphalt production. As part of the Group’s waste management strategy, the Plant enables the application of circular economy principles by recovering, processing and reusing road milling waste from resurfacing works, reducing dependence on virgin aggregates and bitumen. This approach: • Diverts construction waste from landfills • Conserves natural resources • Lowers embodied carbon in asphalt production • Improves cost efficiency across highway maintenance works Asphalt Premix Plant with Recycling Facility in Tapah MINIMISING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
