JPJ: Sabah, Sarawak drivers can renew road tax at self-service kiosks from June 6 — if vehicle registered in 2020 or laterJUNE 6 — In recent years, the concept of a circular economy has captured the imagination of policymakers, businesses, and environmentalists worldwide. It promises a world where products are designed to last, materials are reused, and waste is minimised — a refreshing alternative to the extractive, waste-heavy systems that have dominated for decades.
At the same time, these communities disproportionately bear the brunt of environmental degradation. Poorly managed waste leads to polluted waterways, health hazards, and overcrowded landfills, all of which threaten both livelihoods and public health. A well-designed, inclusive circular economy can therefore be both an environmental imperative and a poverty alleviation strategy.
Biogas systems, fuelled by organic waste, can supply clean cooking gas and electricity in off-grid areas, reducing reliance on wood and charcoal, improving indoor air quality, and creating new economic opportunities. Despite their invaluable role, informal waste workers face numerous challenges: Lack of legal recognition, Health and safety risks, Social stigma, and Limited access to capital and markets.
