Brickgo is an environmental-based project that aims to promote plastic waste reduction and recycling among the community in Taman Connaught. It was founded by a group of undergraduate students from UCSI UniYouth Club who aspire to raise awareness towards the negative impact of plastic pollution on the environment, as well as striving to solve the issue of plastic waste from collecting, recycling, and reusing the waste material.
Based on the targeted community, Taman Connaught is a residential township in Cheras, with more than 1000 households living in that area. According to the survey, the local residents, shop owners, and students have stated that Taman Connaught has a poor condition of plastic pollution. Also, the respondents of the survey think that there is a need to curb the plastic waste issue. Therefore, the Brickgo team would like to help the community to reduce plastic pollution in Taman Connaught by recycling the plastic wastes to form useful bricks.
