From the beginning of this year until mid of October, a whopping 50,915 plastic bottles were collected and recycled on Mantanani Island! On top of that, there are more than 160 houses on Mantanani Island that own and use recycling bins.
We would like to give a shout out to Yayasan Hasanah for making this possible. Without their supports, this would not have been possible. Also not forgetting the locals on Mantanani Island who have committed themselves to this programme and have given their utmost cooperation.
Well done to Mantanani Island communities! You have set a good example for other islands and show them that it is possible and can be done.
Plastic bottles take around 450 years or more to decompose. Plastic bottle litters that we generate today will continue to haunt our generations to come. Let us continue to give our best and make Mantanani Island clean!
