Alor Setar – SWCorp Green Initiative

In October 2017, Alor Setar, the capital city of Kedah, embarked on a groundbreaking “SWCorp Green Initiative” in collaboration with the Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Corporation (SWCorp). The initiative aimed to tackle the pressing issue of waste management and promote a greener city. Alor Setar residents were encouraged to participate in waste separation programs, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. The city introduced innovative recycling centers and composting facilities to encourage sustainable waste disposal practices. The “SWCorp Green Initiative” also involved educational campaigns on waste reduction and environmental conservation, engaging schools, businesses, and local communities. By the end of October, Alor Setar had made significant progress towards becoming a more environmentally friendly city, illustrating the power of collective action in creating a cleaner and greener urban landscape for its residents.
