Protect Coral Reefs in Malaysia

In an effort to reduce greenhouse gases emissions into the atmosphere by business operators on islands in Malaysia, Green Fins and Green Hotel were introduced to them. Green Fins was introduced to dive operators on Perhentian, Redang, Lang Tengah, Tioman, Rawa, Sibu, Mabul, Mataking and Pom Pom islands, as well as dive operators at mainland Kota Kinabalu. Green Hotel was introduced to resort and chalet operators on Tioman Island.

Both Green Fins and Green Hotel approach encourage business operators to run their business in sustainable ways. Some of the Green Fins and Green Hotel criteria that act on climate change are:

In an effort to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in municipal landfill, incinerator and burned openly by local communities, recycling programmes are actively carry out on Tioman and Mantanani Island. Landfill, incinerator and open burning emit greenhouse gases and contribute to climate impacts.

On Tioman Island, together with the local communities, we have set up 6 recycling collection centres, one on each village. Each centre is manage by a local villager. On Mantanani Island, there is one recycling collection centre to serve the small island. The centre on Mantanani Island is manage by our team together with the local community.

Recyclables such as plastic bottles, glass bottles, cans, metals and electrical wastes will be sent to these recycling centres. The recyclables will then be sent to recycling centre on mainland.

Some of the recyclables were upcycle on the island. On Tioman Island, glass bottles are crushed using glass crushing machine into fine sand to be used as construction materials. On Mantanani Island, HDPE and PP types of plastic are turn into fridge magnets handicrafts and single-use-plastic are turn into wallets and bracelets.
