Johor Bahru — The Circular Economy Club (CEC), the nonprofit international network of more than 4,500 circular economy professionals and organizations in more than 100 countries in 260+ cities is currently implementing more projects via CEC Malaysia.

Since then CEC Malaysia has expanded and includes four other chapters in Petaling Jaya, Penang, Johor Bahru and Penampang, Sabah.

The CEC Johor Bahru chapter announces their collaboration with Heng Hiap Industries, a circular recycler who was recently certified by Control Union as an Ocean Bound Plastic Recycling & Collection Organisation in August 2020 and ImpactLution.  The “Upcycling Ocean Bound Plastic Project” which will be launched at Kukup Tanjung Piai Village (Kampung Benteng) on 19 September 2019 will coincide with World Clean Up Day 2020. Other sponsors and partners are the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT), SW Corp Malaysia and International Coastal Cleanup.

It is only by setting clear objectives that we will be able to track progress and create a world with no waste”.
