UEM Edgenta Champions Malaysia’s First Pet Food Rescue

The success of the Pet Food Project highlights UEM Edgenta’s commitment to innovation in community support and sustainability. By partnering with The Lost Food Project, UEM Edgenta has enabled the PFP to engage individuals and local businesses in combating pet food waste. This effort has rescued 5,490 kilograms of pet food, prevented 36,935 kilograms of CO2 emissions, and supported over 50 shelters, rescuers, and feeders. It has also delivered 50,384 meals to cats and kittens and 8,833 meals to dogs, enhancing the well-being of countless animals. At the same time, this initiative has significantly reduced the environmental impact of food waste, making a lasting difference in the community

As PFP moves beyond its pilot phase, UEM Edgenta and The Lost Food Project are committed to integrating the valuable learnings and connections established to ensure the continued success and growth of the initiative. Insights gained from the pilot, including the specific needs of animal shelters and the logistical challenges of surplus pet food distribution, will be leveraged to refine processes and make them more efficient and responsive to community needs.
