Did You Know That Each Malaysian Generates About 1..

Did you know that each Malaysian generates about 1.17 kg of waste daily?

Approximately 90% of the waste goes to landfills, while only 10% is recycled! Because of this plastic pollution crisis, Melvita recently launched some new products made with recycled plastic, which are also recyclable. This initiative aims to reduce plastic wastes by using cleaner production and promote recycling ♻.

Yesterday, Melvita and TCS co-hosted a one-day CSR programme in Kemaman and Chendor. We learned about the turtles of Malaysia; discussed our effort in reducing our plastic consumption; and did a beach cleanup along a 400 m stretch of Pantai Chendor.

In 7 hours, we released 45 one-month-old critically endangered Painted Terrapins as well as 45 newly hatched endangered Green Turtles 🐢 During the beach cleanup, we collected three large trash bags worth of rubbish, which consisted mostly of cigarette butts (41%), plastic containers, bottles and caps (16%), plastic bags (16%), and food wrappers (12%).

We thank Melvita for this amazing collaboration, and we hope to be a part of your green initiatives in the future 🌷

Turtle Conservation Society

The Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia was established in October 2011. The aim of the society is to bring about the recovery of depleted wild populations of turtles, with particular reference to freshwater turtles, in Malaysia through partnerships with like-minded organizations, individuals and local communities as well as through its own programs.
