Environmental problems linked to plastic waste have become a significant concern in Malaysia.
Heng Hiap Industries Converts Ocean-Bound Plastics into New, Upcycled Products
Malaysia ranks 3rd globally in ocean plastic pollution. Its rural areas and islands lack waste collection infrastructure. Even if they could efficiently collect the plastic waste, the high costs of transporting plastic waste to urban centers deters recycling. Malaysia also is located along the Western section of the Coral Triangle, a biodiversity hotspot that is home to 76% of the world’s coral species and 6 of the world’s 7 marine turtle species.*
With your support for Heng Hiap Industries (HHI) ocean-bound plastic clean ups, the plastic waste from remote Malaysian communities is transformed into new, upcycled products. HHI plastic waste collection projects also benefit rural economies where high levels of plastic pollution are damaging the local ecotourism and fishing industries.
Upcycled New Household Products
As an advanced recycled plastic manufacturer, HHI pledges to recycle 30,000 metric tons of ocean-bound plastics cumulatively by 2025. As a result of successful collaborations with its partners, HHI converts OBP to upcycled finished goods, like Louvre chairs and other household items, creating fully sustainable, closed-loop systems where resources are reused and recycled as part of its circular design and solutions.
Verified, Trustworthy Results
The HHI is the first company to receive the prestigious Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) certification by Zero Plastic Oceans after the successful third-party verification and audit performed by the leading global certification specialists, Control Union Certifications.
