Waste and Energy Technology Group (WETec) was established to perform research and to provide services on waste technology and alternative energy matters. The group, which was formerly known as MINT Incineration and Renewable Energy Center (MIREC), was established in 2000. The establishment was in line with the government plans in expanding the generation of renewable energy from various sources while solving country waste management problems.

As a research centre responsible for waste and technology studies, WETec is conducting research and providing services as follows:
