Repurposing waste is an opportunity to innovate, reduce costs and create new revenue streams, fostering a sustainable future through collaboration and a circular mindset
THE pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity, the optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty, Winston Churchill once said. This insight perfectly encapsulates the mindset shift needed in waste management.
While many view waste merely as a problem to be discarded, adopting an optimistic perspective reframes the challenge as an opportunity, a driver of economic growth—an untapped resource that can be repurposed, recycled and transformed into something valuable.
In Malaysia, businesses have the potential to convert waste heading to overflowing landfills into profitable resources. Through innovative practices like recycling, waste-to-energy solutions and upcycling, discarded materials such as plastics, paper and organic waste can be turned into valuable products.
