COGNISANT of the rising environmental impact from consumer packaging waste, industry leaders in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector have teamed up to address the issue.

The Malaysian Recycling Alliance (Marea) has been established to enable a voluntary, industry-led extended producer responsibility (EPR) group of like-minded companies to focus on boosting the value chain and significantly improving collection and recycling of post-consumer packaging.
