\n TIOMAN, Malaysia \u2013 Every weekend, a team of volunteers comb the coastline of the Malaysian resort of Tioman to collect plastic trash that washes up on the white-sand beaches of the island lapp<\/a>ed by the South China Sea.<\/p>\n

But rather than burn or bury the trash, it is being recycled into plastic pellets so that it can be used to make a range of products from auto parts to home appliances and furniture.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is wrapped in plastic these days so it\u2019s incredibly hard,\u201d said Sydney Steenland, the founder of the Sea Monkey Project, a non-governmental group involved in recycling ocean waste.<\/p>\n

While the initiative does help clean up the environment and recycle waste, Steenland admits \u201cit\u2019s never going to actually stop the situation if you don\u2019t tell people to stop using the plastic first.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heng Hiap, based in the southern Malaysian state of Johor, is one of a growing number of companies working with environmentalists to collect and remove plastic waste in the country\u2019s waters.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarine pollution is becoming a problem and we decided to focus on ocean-bound plastic material,\u201d said the company\u2019s founder Seah Kian Hoe, noting the aim was to serve conscientious consumers.<\/p>\n

Conservation group WWF released a report earlier this year saying that out of six Asian countries Malaysia was one of the leading consumers of plastic packaging, at around 16 kg (35 lb) per person each year.<\/p>\n

The report looked at China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, which are estimated to contribute 60% of the roughly 8 million tonnes of plastic that enters the world\u2019s oceans each year.<\/p>\n

The pellets made by Heng Hiap are sold to companies such as Kian, a furniture maker.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery chair that comes out from the machine we know that this has recycled part of the trash that we have created in the first place,\u201d said Irene Lim, Kian\u2019s furniture branding manager, in a showroom in Kuala Lumpur.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
