Grassroots zero-waste drive helps Sabah village tackle plastic pollution


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s fight against plastic pollution took a step forward after a four-month Zero Waste Community Project at a village in Tuaran concluded, providing villagers with recycling skills and carrying out a massive community clean-up.

The project in Kampung Gerinsing, Mengkabong, about 40km from here, began in September 2025 as a grassroots experiment and has now become a model on how villagers can turn waste into resources.
