In conjunction with World Sustainability Day, we explore the conversation around plastic waste. Our Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said that the government is targeting zero use of plastic bags by 2025 at all premises.

What can be done better to reduce plastic waste?

Joshua and Joel Lim, the co-founders of BeeBag, want to reward people who use their reusable bags when they shop. What’s so special about their bags? They’ve got NFC tags. We’re here to find out what challenges lie ahead of them in this competitive sustainability space.
