RECYCLE EASY
Recycle Easy is the place to go to recycle your used
cartons. This includes all tetra-Pak milk cartons, Milo
packs, juice boxes and others in the same category.
All that is required is that the cartons are washed and
flattened. Then, it is just an easy drop off at a Recycle
Easy container near you. They have over 719 drop-off
points all over Malaysia, including East Malaysia. There is
an ongoing program called The CAREton Project which
is a recycling awareness campaign that promotes the
collection of used beverage cartons to be up-cycled into
roof tiles and panel boards which will then be donated
to Extraordinary People Impacting Communities
(EPIC) Homes for their use in Orang Asli home building
initiatives, NGOs and other community projects. For
