Inspired by Precious Plastic (https://preciousplastic.com/), this programme aimed to bring recycling to schools through demonstration using simple recycling machines (shredder, injection and extrusion machines). The truck is currently under construction and set to be launched on 28 April 2020. An additional feature in the truck is a solar system to demonstrate renewable energy in powering one of the recycling machines.


The development of the module is made possible with the collaboration between PETRONAS Chemicals Group (PCG), Pusat STEM Negara under Ministry of Education (MOE), MPMA and Solid Waste Corporation (SWCorp). The objective of the module is to equip teachers with the right information on plastics, proper waste management and our role in addressing issues such as global warming and marine litter.

2 modules were developed:
  • ‘Plastic, Environment & You’ for primary schools. Available in 4 languages: Malay, English, Chinese and Tamil.
  • ‘Plastic, Sustainability & You’ for secondary schools. Available in 2 languages: Malay and English.

The modules had been distributed to all schools nationwide in which each school receives a hardcopy of the module and a pendrive which contains an interactive module and the e-version of the module.
