JOHOR BARU: As awareness on the problems caused by single-use plastics grows, more states, organisations and institutions are taking steps to do away with them altogether, especially when it comes to packing food and beverages.

The latest to take a stand on the issue is Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, which announced a bold move to minimise the usage of plastics among students and staff by encouraging them to bring their own reusable containers to campus.
