Tan: “When we first started, we felt that we needed to preserve the environment. In the process, we also make a profit.”

WHEN Gilbert Tan first heard that China was planning to ban the import of plastic waste into the country, he immediately got a bad feeling about how it was going to affect Malaysia and the recycling industry.

“I had this fear that they would not follow the rules and regulations. This would mar the whole plastic recycling community,” he says.
