With a focus on waste elimination, we are working towards achieving the zero waste and zero unemployment vision by 2040.

Our Programmes
ReUsable Goods Bank
Formerly called “Don’t Trash It, Donate It”, this programme redistributes unused and preloved goods in good working condition to members of the community, saving them from ending up in the landfill.
Holistic Fabric Upcycling
This upcycling sewing programme provides a workshop for migrant women to get creative with unused fabrics and unwanted sewing machines and equipment to produce natural, environmentally-friendly products.
Food Recovery
Food waste disposed in landfill generates methane gas which is a significant contributor to global warming. This programme functions as a hub for distributing unsold bread and vegetables in partnership with another community organisation.
Recycle Messaging for Newcomers
For newcomers sometimes it is difficult to understand the implication of the messages conveyed by authority and mainstream culture. They prefer more direct and plain wordings and step by step instructions.
