Project Title: Review on Application of Mobile Apps in Recycling Books and Clothes for Orang Asli

Brief:

Malaysians are well aware of the importance of recycling in order to achieve a sustainable community and to create a greener environment well (Haji Mohamed, 2014; Mokthsim & Osman Salleh, 2014; Ramli, Omar, & Ahmad, 2019). Recycling helps to reduce wastes and it can help those who are in need. This project focuses on the application of mobile app towards recycling where the community can donate their belongings such as books and clothes in exchange for points/rewards. Furthermore, those recycled items will then be given to the Orang Asli to fulfill their basic necessities and improving their quality of life. Thus, the project target audiences are the recycler’s community and the Orang Asli.
