Effort to reduce waste

MALAYSIANS produce 18,000 tonnes of solid waste each day and the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) is putting in the effort to reduce the amount of non-biodegradable waste going into the landfills.

In conjunction with MPSJ’s 15th anniversary, council president Datuk Asmawi Kasbi recently launched a campaign to encourage the use of biodegradable plastic in wet markets, night markets and hypermarkets.
