What becomes of all the campaign posters, banners and bunting after the 15th General Election ends? “However, we have to send damaged or vandalised campaign materials to waste disposal sites while materials that cannot last long will be sent for recycling,” he said. A Barisan Nasional election machinery volunteer for Cheras, Nick Sim, 31, said not all campaign materials would end up as waste or be recycled. Zero Waste Malaysia (ZWM) co-founder and director Khor Sue Yee said the best way to reduce waste was to reuse the materials. Khor said people needed to get more creative by upcycling the campaign materials or fabric used.
