KUALA LUMPUR: The initiative to exchange waste for basic necessities or rental payment deduction through the 1C1R (1 Community 1 Recycle) programme is a practical move to encourage the public to practice recycling besides conserving the environment.
Through the initiative, which uses the concept of the barter system, residents of the people's housing project (PPR) will bring their recyclables to the 1C1R kiosk to earn reward points or 'green coins' that can be collected over time and redeemed for daily goods or rental rebates.
