To many consumers, bread tags, single-use plastic bags, food wrappers and three-in-one coffee packets are nothing more than rubbish. But Hung Bee Ling – co-founder of social enterprise Hara Makers – knows there is value and potential in these items.
Hung, 36, works with the urban poor to convert plastic waste into upcycled products.
During the first movement control order, Hara Makers launched Reimagine Plastic (RP), an income-generating project for the economically disadvantaged in the Klang Valley.
The program’s objective is to provide underprivileged communities with vocational skills in recycling and upcycling plastic waste.
