Zero waste living can seem scary and daunting at first- where do I find the right resources? How costly is it? Where do I start?

The MY Zero Waste Life handbook is here to support you, comprising of practical steps and advice for Malaysians who are trying to live an environmentally friendly and low-waste lifestyle.

It is a free and accessible resource available in four different languages to represent the diversity of our nation. Find out more about how it came to be and what inspired this project through our session!
