Beyond Bins by Biji-biji Initiative

Others
Biji-biji Initiative is a social enterprise based in Malaysia, with a network expanding across the SEA region. We were established in 2013 with a mission to drive sustainable development and foster positive social and environmental impact. Biji-biji strives to promote inclusivity, creativity and environmental stewardship through our impact accelerator programmes, social innovation programmes, and our circular economy solution, Beyond Bins. Our organisation’s focus spans across various sectors including impact entrepreneurship, environmental conservation and community empowerment. We see ourselves at the forefront of growing the larger impact ecosystem within the region.

Specific to circular economy, our programme Beyond Bins is focused on transforming the plastic waste crisis into an opportunity for positive change, for both the environment and the people. The programme engages marginalised communities in recycling and upcycling activities, providing them with the skills, resources and equipment needed to turn plastic waste into valuable products - thus creating an alternative source of income for the community. Beyond Bins not only addresses environmental degradation but also provides economic empowerment to underserved communities, exemplifying Biji-biji’s commitment to innovative, community-led solutions that can create lasting impact.
