Raising community awareness of recycling

25 Aug 2023

During a two-day event on the island of Langkawi in August, Intertek Malaysia joined the Malaysian Recycling Alliance in promoting its Consumer Education and Public Awareness programme. The aim was to educate the local community on the importance of recycling and other sustainable practices, giving them the knowledge to make responsible choices in their daily lives.

An enthusiastic audience took part in various activities, such as children’s colouring contests, guessing games for the weight of recyclable items and competitions based on separating different types of waste.

As well as increasing awareness of recycling, the event contributed to the future preservation of the island’s natural habitat by encouraging greener habits generally.
