PETALING JAYA: It will be an uphill task to achieve the targeted national recycling rate of 40% by 2025, but it is not impossible, say environmental groups.

Pertubuhan Perlindungan Khazanah Alam Malaysia (Peka) president Damien Thanam said the target is realistic, but it can only be achieved with constant management and continuous monitoring at both the state and national levels.
