Assalamualaikum and hello to our beloved readers! This is our very first post!

What is meant by recycling ?

Recycling is the practice of reusing items that would otherwise be discarded as waste. Variations of recycling include upcycling, which involves adding value to an item for reuse, and downcycling, which involves breaking down an item or substance into its component elements to reuse anything that can be salvaged. Precycling, an alternative approach, involves avoiding the acquisition of unnecessary items that would have eventually have to be recycled or dealt with as waste.

How is the awareness of recycling among Malaysians ?


Let us look at Bernama News on January 2013, awareness for the need to reduce and recycle waste is still low among Malaysians, said Ministry of Federal Territories and Urban Well being, secretary-general Datuk Adnan Md Ikhsan. He said, last year an estimated 25,000 metric tonnes of waste was generated in Peninsular Malaysia in a single day, of which only five percent was recycled.


So every person in community should be involved in recycling practice. To us, Kinder~Cycle, the awareness should start from a young age.
