A FABRIC manufacturing company which used to send its scrap to the Pulau Burong landfill near Nibong Tebal will work with the Seberang Prai City Council (MBSP) to turn the scrap into handmade products such as blankets, pillows, rugs, wristbands and others.

The joint upcycle programme between MBSP and South Island Garment under their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative will involve the participation of six organisations and individuals.
