GREEN BANK PROJECT
Green Bank project is a result of collaboration between UTAR and Go Greenonline Sdn. Bhd. The Go Greenonline Sdn. Bhd. has years of successful experience in dealing with recycling work in Pangkor Island. Green Bank Programme aims to promote successful waste segregation culture among UTAR staff and students; engage undergraduate students in waste segregation activities through Recycle Ranger programme, and carry out projects parallel to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), outlined by the United Nations. In the year 2020, the total waste collected weigh 1,817 kg, while to date, the total waste collected, in weight, increased to 3,838kg. Go Greenonline arranges the collection when the green bank reaches its capacity and the recyclables will be sent to selected recycling management companies.
Presently, it is recorded that there is a continuous effort from the university community in depositing their recyclable items. Promotion for the programme is also made through mail masters which were sent several times. It was recorded that there were 136 members registered for the programme and some participants have received their e-wallet cash rewards.
