Innovative reuse of recycled materials in Salcon-MPSJ Green Inventor Competition 2013

10 teams from 9 secondary schools in Klang Valley competed for the most innovative water invention made from recycled materials today in the inaugural Salcon Green Inventor Competition 2013 at Kompleks Puchong Perdana. The Salcon Green Inventor Competition 2013 is organized in collaboration with MPSJ’s Karnival Zon Bersih.

The Salcon Green Inventor competition is part of Salcon Berhad’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiative in celebration of World Environmental Day 2013. The programme aims to promote awareness on the importance of recycling to preserve the environment, in addition to polishing creative minds amongst the youths to create something useful and practical using recycled materials.

 

 “The programme serves as a platform for secondary school children to utilize their imagination and creativity to come up with a green masterpiece in the spirit of team work and at the same time, to appreciate the beauty of nature in their daily life” said Mr Yap Sui Pon, project director of Salcon Berhad.

45 students are given more than one month time to complete their water-based invention, combining their scientific skills to put together their green creations such as water filter, cleanser, water collector and many more.  The students are judged based on their creativity and practicality of creations, the use of recycle materials, and the group presentations.

 

“It is our honor to work with Salcon Berhad for the first ever Salcon-MPSJ Green Inventor Competition 2013. Besides sharing the same objectives which to promote awareness and conservation of our environment for a better future, we perceive that this programme is an added value to our Zon Bersih campaign”, said Mr Zamir, Assistant Director of Corporate Planning of MPSJ.

Salcon is delighted to get to work hand in hand with MPSJ in organizing such a successful event and looking forward to have more opportunity to organize similar activities which can benefit the community and the environment.
