2. Intern-Led Clothes Recycling and Upcycling Workshop
Interns from batch 3 of the Arvato Systems Malaysia Internship Program (AIP) were given the opportunity to lead in a two-pronged recycling/upcycling initiative alongside the CR social group.
Arvatorians, as Arvato Systems employees are fondly known as, were encouraged to donate their pre-loved clothings. The initiative saw the team collecting a total of 66.39kg worth of clothes that were donated to KLOTH Cares recycling bins. This total exceeded the team’s target of 50kg and demonstrates how Arvatorians work together to give back to the community.
Alongside this, employees were also encouraged to participate in a clothes upcycling workshop where second-hand clothes were crafted into coasters. The initiative was again, done in partnership with KLOTH Cares and was a meaningful exercise for Arvatorians involved.
