Feasibility study on plastic use to improve waste management
We are one of the sponsor in feasibility study initiated by Penang Green Council and the study is led by Resource Recycling System, Inc. The feasibility study would provide an understanding of consumer behavior patterns when using flexible plastic packaging. Ten thousand households from a diversity of housing areas and household incomes will be identified to conduct a survey.
The objective of this project is to identify effective ways to collect and recover films and flexible packaging from Penang household. This will also act as one of the ways forward to support Penang State’s Waste Segregation at Source policy and reduce mismanaged plastic packaging.
