The Trashpedia Outreach Programme

The folks at Zero Waste Malaysia continue to work towards building a waste-free future for Malaysia, with a mission to drive social and systemic change for our country. The group has been keeping busy, and just last month - which was Plastic Free July- saw the team collaborating with Hara Makers where they launched a 10-metre-tall installation made with 3 tonnes of plastic bags at community space, Parc @Subang Ria. They are also busy working on The Trashpedia Outreach Programme, an immersive recycling collection activity which encourages clean and proper waste segregation, where they invite the public to bring their clean and dry recyclables to learn as a community, and foster a powerful catalyst for action. We find out more about it from Khor Sue Yee, the Co-founder and Director of Zero Waste Malaysia.
