After 2 weeks of weighing food waste, conducting interviews and collecting surveys, we noticed that the plate waste recorded of total weight 48.9kg, much higher than the recorded 37.2kg weight of food preparation waste. This was further proven by our survey with 24.5% respondents admitting they often leave food unfinished. 📊 The main causes of this happening are oversized meal portions with vegetables and rice being the most common among leftovers. 🍽️
Nevertheless, we are grateful to the 20 Restaurant Millah patrons who agreed to be interviewed and to the 106 people who responded to our survey. 🙌 Your unwavering support is what drives us to take the next step in our green mission. 🍃

We are a team of students participating in Toyota Eco Youth (TEY) 2026, a nationwide environmental programme organised by Toyota Malaysia in collaboration with the Ministry of Education 🌍
These are some of the interviews that were done by our members in the BioLoop Carbon Innovators team! 🎥
We asked a series of questions such as what type of food people usually order, why does food waste usually happen, and also asking why food waste is an environmental issue. 🍃
The interviewees gave a variety of answers that really shows how much the community really understands and concerns for the environmental issues regarding food waste. ♻️
In the end, most of them supported our project in helping to turn the environment into a better place. 🌳

On the 20th April 2026, marked the beginning for our daily visit to Restaurant Millah for two weeks. We provided trash cans to separate two types of food waste, which is food preparation waste and plate waste. 🥗 Led by bioloop key members, our group of students recorded the weight of both types of food waste. 🍽️
We likewise interviewed restaurant workers and customers to collect their view on food waste management. A QR code survey was also launched during the period. With these data, we hope to learn more about food waste management, opening pathways to how it can be improved. This made every visit to Restaurant Millah eye-opening, mouth-watering and heart-warming. 🥰

Why organic waste matters in Malaysia ❓
Malaysia generates 39,000 tonnes of waste daily and 45% are organic food wastes. 🍽️ This amount of foods are enough to feed 4.4 millions of people 👥. Improper management of organic wastes might lead to greenhouse gas emissions. 🪴
Organic waste matters and causes negative effects to our planet. Hence, we should learn to handle and reduce them as much as possible. Small changes in how we treat these wastes will make a world of difference. ♻️
