Solving the challenges of plastic waste requires a conscious choice to use less plastic in our daily activities, and opt wherever possible, for materials that are more environmentally friendly and recyclable. It also requires everybody’s effort to avoid littering.
To address the issue of packaging waste in the environment, Nestle (Malaysia) Berhad has been proactively working with local partners to establish in the community better and more widespread recycling habits, as well as more effective ways for waste collection and separation of the different types of materials.
Empowering communities to adopt better recycling habits
As part of the company’s recycling initiatives, Nestle recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) to kick-off an initiative on kerbside collection of recyclables in two townships in Selangor, with the aim of instilling a better understanding of recycling, reducing household waste and increase waste separation and collection for recycling.
