The Problem

Due to the pandemic situation, the whole world was hit with countless misfortunes. The PPR communities were suffering from different types of hurdles especially in terms of financial issues. Many breadwinners lost their jobs, causing families to lose their source of income. Despite the fact everyone is staying home, not all are in a comfortable situation.

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.
