Marking the start of Plastic Free July, Kuching South City Council (MBKS) will also start the ban of using plastic straws and polystyrene at markets and hawker centres under its jurisdiction as a part of the council's commitment to protecting the environment and working towards a sustainable future.

We also start seeing alternatives to plastic straws in Kuching, such as the rice straws which is edible and degradable.

For Koru Team, plastic straws are often a single-use item that's just not necessary. What we do is to always request our cold drink to be served without a straw, or bring our own glass straw if we are going for drinks that goes better with straw, like ice kacang or pearl milk tea!

Plastic straw? Useful for minutes, harmful for decades. What we can do to stop that?
(1) Ask for no straw
(2) Bring our own reusable straws
(3) Use alternatives such as rice straws

Stop using plastic straw is an easy start, together we can get straws out of the top 10 list of items collected in beach cleanups.

Here comes the latest schedule for MBKS Monthly Buy Back Recycling Campaign and Takakura Home Composting Workshop.

New products can be made from the recyclable waste material, it is sad to see them ended in landfills. So if we could not refuse, reduce and reuse, let's give recyclables a new life through recycling!

The date and location for July to December 2022 are now available. Send your recyclables over, collect points and redeem household products!

Once in a while The Koru Team send the recyclables we collected to MBKS Monthly Buy Back Recycling Campaign. One of the best thing is they held the campaign at different location so we could choose whenever it is nearer to us.

Yesterday is the last day for the MBKS Monthly Buy Back Recycling Campaign in April 2022. Fear not, if you missed it, the next day for collection is on 8 May 2022. You could also find a list of items them accept and their collection date in this post, just check up the photo in this post!
