PETALING JAYA: Environmentalists are urging the public to think twice before ordering a takeaway that comes with a lot of packaging or disposable cutlery, in view of the mounting amount of solid waste.

“Takeaways always come with single-use plastic cutlery and packaging, and the rising food gifting trend has also contributed to this wastage,” said EcoGarage co-founder and education head Sharmaine XinHui Kaur.
