PUBLIC UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMME (KOMUNITI@UniMADANI)

The main objective of this programme is to introduce, design, and implement the production of furniture and souvenir products based on used plastic waste among the community of Kampung Bukit Pulau, Melaka. In line with this, the programme aims to increase local community income generation while reducing plastic waste pollution through the production and marketing of recycled material-based products.

The implementation of this project also emphasizes the empowerment of the circular economy at the community level by providing additional income-generating opportunities through the production of portable furniture and souvenirs from used plastic. The proximity of Kampung Bukit Pulau to Melaka city center leaves it vulnerable to plastic waste accumulation. Thus, this initiative is seen as having high potential to leverage waste resources into high-value raw materials, thereby contributing to environmental sustainability through plastic waste reduction.
