Plastic food packaging waste threatens the environment. However, it is this type of waste that is most often thrown away but recycled the least. Tan Novita, 34, and Ovy Sabrina, 34, started a movement to recycle this type of waste into bricks and paving blocks.

In February, a message circulated via WhatsApp that reads: "Try to remember how often we produce waste sachets every day. Every snack has a wrapper and we throw it away. We eat instant noodles and throw away the packaging. We drink sachet coffee and throw away the plastic.”
