The Problem
Teenagers are supposed to be free -spirited and creative. However, due to their living condition, the youths from PPR community are unable to shine and show their true potentials as no one is there to guide them. Also, there is no space for the youths to conduct activities during their free time.
The Solution
The Beyond Bins project strives for a sustainable and circular economy by connecting corporate players, the underserved communities, and Biji-Biji Initiative partners.
This project works on small-scale plastic recycling which also benefits the B40 communities by providing an additional stream of income for them. Small-scale plastic waste recycling machines are provided to the communities to produce recycled products after a period of training and guidance. The plastic can either be shredded and sold to recyclers or created into new products that can be sold on both physical and digital platforms.
The communities will stand to gain through educational programs and awareness to instill a sustainability mindset.
PERKASA@Remaja took this opportunity to empower the youths from PPR Kg. Muhibbah by promoting and introducing the community programs offered at the PERMATA Community Center.
They informed and briefed the youths on the things they are able to do once the Internet Center is open.
