This year, with the support of 99 Speedmart, MILO® UHT aims to expand further the reach of the project. A pilot phase will commence in one hundred 99 Speedmart outlets in Klang Valley, with CAREton recycling bins in each location for use by the local community and 99 Speedmart customers.

Mr. Juan Aranols, Chief Executive Officer, Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad said, “Achieving a waste-free future will require to scale up and the CAREton Project is a great example of collaborative action achieving tangible results. We have successfully collected over 95 million drink packs since 2012 helping to build over 250 homes from this programme alone. The steps are simple, first – push the straw back into the pack, flip, flap, flat and drop it off at any of our collection points. With the support of 99 Speedmart, the network of collection points will widen considerably. We will continue to drive the recycling agenda forward to build a more sustainable future.”
