Zero-Waste Education for a Greener Malaysia

As Malaysia races against the alarming projection that our landfills may reach capacity by 2041, Zero Waste Malaysia is doubling down on efforts to build a culture of sustainability where it matters most: in our schools. Through the Green Wira Programme, now in its second cohort, over 300 educators have been equipped to lead meaningful, lasting zero-waste initiatives, impacting an estimated 150,000 students nationwide. With the upcoming week-long Green Wira Exhibition and Showcase, and fresh insights from their new stakeholder survey, the organisation hopes to spark even stronger community involvement in the zero-waste movement. Joining us to share more are Khor Sue Yee, Co-founder and Director, and Tasha Sabapathy, Senior Programme and Communications Officer, from Zero Waste Malaysia.
