WHY CLEAN OUR PLATE?
A Realisation
​
Everyday, about 15 000 tonnes of food waste is produced and this amount of food waste could have been consumed by 2 million people which would be equivalent to the entire population of the the busiest city of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur!
Mission
Our mission is to eliminate at least 50% of the food waste among youth in Malaysia by the year of 2030 through cultivating responsible consumption habits. Aligning with this vision we promote food waste awareness targeting schools as our medium to cultivate good consumption habits amongst teenagers.
