Let’s be real. Talking about being a sustainable and waste-free nation? Malaysia has a long way to go. Malaysia produces 38 million kg of waste daily, that’s enough to fill up the Petronas Twin Towers every 7 days. The waste issue has become the 2nd biggest contributor to global warming in Malaysia, after the energy sector.
At Zero Waste Malaysia, we believe individual actions make a difference. By living the zero waste lifestyle, everyone like YOU and I have the power to build a green and sustainable future for the country. Every small effort, when seen collectively, makes a significant difference.
Today, over 50,000 community members have joined us in the zero waste movement. And we invite you to be part of this mission, in creating a ‘Zero Waste Malaysia’.
Zero Waste Malaysia started off as a Facebook Community Group in 2016 and officially registered in 2018 as a non-profit organisation (PPM-044-10-29032018) under The Registry of Societies of Malaysia. We pride ourselves as a community group based in Malaysia advocating for sustainable development whilst aiming to increase the local community’s awareness of sustainable living.
