It’s a wrap to our 4-part dialogue series with Volvo Car Malaysia with sustainability talks to engage their employees, distributors and customers on a range of sustainability and climate-related topics.
Volvo has been a company that has made encouraging strides forward globally with their aim to go fully electric by 2030 , and embrace circular business principles in their aim to be carbon neutral by 2040.
It’s been a real pleasure working with Volvo Car Malaysia over the past two years over several projects, and I’m happy that we could work on a series that helps develop a deeper connection with climate issues and draw clearer lines on how it impacts and connects to everyone. My hope is that it helps them grow on their enthusiasm to explore climate action within their personal lives, community and company.

Composting 101: The Art and Science of Turning Food Waste Into Black Gold
Malaysians send 16,000 tons of food waste to the landfill every single day, with approximately 50% of our daily trash made up of food waste. Even though organic waste is biodegradable, in a landfill it rots without oxygen and releases methane, a greenhouse gas ~30 times more potent than carbon dioxide. It also locks away all those valuable nutrients instead of returning them to our soil.
Composting diverts organic waste from the landfill and turns it into compost i.e. Black Gold, returning nutrients to the ground and regenerate healthy soil. It is one of the best things you can do for the environment, and your garden.
