CURBING plastic waste is a huge task when daily items come in packaging that are non-biodegradable. So, turning these into eco-bricks is SMK Darul Ehsan’s Nature Club’s answer for a better environment.

Club president Monicca Ajimulam, 17, started an inspirational campaign against rubbish, where students and teachers are taught to collect plastic waste from snack packets, plastic bags and wrappers used at home and stuff these into a 1.5l plastic drink bottle to make the eco-bricks.
