Organiser
Eco-Business, Penang Green Council, Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia and PPB Group are excited to invite you to Malaysia’s screening of WASTED, Eco-Business’ latest impact documentary on reality of our planet’s mounting waste problem.
Wasted is Eco-Business’s latest award-winning impact documentary which was first premiered in December 2023, and has since been expanded and updated following the United Nations negotiations held in November 2024 at Busan, South Korea to forge a global legally binding treaty on plastic pollution.
Join us for the film premiere of the updated Wasted documentary. The film puts a spotlight on the unprecedented volume of trash in the era of the Anthropocene and asks important questions: Why are we wasting opportunities to solve our waste issues, and what can be done to turn pollution into solutions? Featuring a diverse cast across the region, the film inspires action across business, policy and individuals to clean up our communities, cities and natural habitats and create healthy, thriving economies. It highlights the connections between waste and human health, and its intersection with the climate crisis. It is a visual exploration across Asia, from landfills to recycling plants, cinematic aerials to intimate portraits.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring industry experts, policymakers and community leaders with a stake in Malaysia’s waste management systems, with a key focus in the state of Penang. It will focus on existing gaps, possible solutions and the immediate actions we can take to create a cleaner future.
Find out more about our Wasted journey, which opens our eyes to the simple truth hidden in plain sight: What we throw away, doesn’t go away. We look forward to seeing you at the event!
This is a by-invitation event, please contact your relevant contacts from Penang Green Council, Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia or PPB Group. Seats are limited, kindly RSVP by 6 June, 2025!
