Building resilience, one recycled bottle at a time

ON June 24, Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming launched the National Recycling Campaign in a mall in Bukit Bintang, which is one of Malaysia’s busiest commercial districts.

Every day, thousands of people shop, dine, work and travel through the area. With that activity comes a huge amount of packaging, plastic bottles, cans, paper and other materials that are too often discarded after a single use.
