AIR LESTARI SDN BHD:
Alternative Water Solutions for a Sustainable Future
Air Lestari Sdn Bhd (“ALSB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporated), is Malaysia’s leading provider of sustainable water solutions, dedicated to transforming water management through innovation, environmental stewardship, and comprehensive consultancy services. With expertise in Water Reclamation Plants (WRPs), Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs), Seawater Desalination, Ultra-Pure Water, and Rainwater Harvesting systems, Air Lestari leverages Advanced Oxidation (AO), Ultrafiltration (UF), and Reverse Osmosis (RO) technologies to produce reclaimed water of a quality equivalent to the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) drinking water standards. Beyond infrastructure development, Air Lestari Sdn Bhd provides expert consultancy in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), offers expert consultancy for sustainable water governance, policy alignment, and effective stakeholder collaboration.
Aligned with the Water Sector Transformation 2040 (WST2040) and Selangor’s Zero Discharge Policy (ZDP), Air Lestari offers consultancy services that help industries and governments optimise water use, minimise pollution, and achieving regulatory compliance. Our IWRM approach incorporates technical, economic, and social considerations to address water scarcity, enhance system resilience, and promote circular economy principles. Backed by over 20 years of collective experience in the water industry, our team delivers end-to-end solutions from feasibility studies and policy formulation to implementation frameworks, ensuring clients achieve sustainability targets while optimising operational costs. Air Lestari Sdn Bhd eliminates financial barriers for industries through its ZERO CapEx model. Under this framework, Air Lestari finances, designs, and operates Water Reclamation Plants (WRPs) via a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) arrangement, allowing businesses to access reclaimed water at competitive tariffs.
This client-centric approach, fortified by strategic partnerships with entities such as Lembaga Urus Air Selangor (LUAS) and the private sector, establishes Air Lestari as a trusted partner in bolstering Malaysia’s water security. It also aligns with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals 6 (SDG 6). Through the combination of innovation, strict regulatory compliance, and positive community impact, Air Lestari empowers industries to achieve sustainable growth while preserving vital water resources for future generations.
