The Malaysian Plastics Manufacturers Association (2022电竞(长春)数据v10.1 安卓版) and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) partnered together for the fifth time on the challenge which is designed to educate students on waste separation and recycling to help reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfills and ending up in the environment as litter.
The challenge, which kicked off in April, is composed of four challenges designed to educate and inspire students on the importance of recycling and sustainability. The challenges are:
- Recyclables Collection: Students collected recyclables (plastic, paper, aluminum, e-waste) and brought them to schools to be weighed and collected.
- Photography: Students submitted a photo that features the theme of “I Love Recycling”.
- Sketch Performance: Students create and perform a sketch with the theme “Litter Villain vs. Recycle Hero”.
- Choral Speaking Performance: Groups of students participate in a choral speaking competition themed around the Three R’s: “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”.
