Discover how community-led projects supported by the Levelling Up Seberang Perai Programme (LUSP) are advancing the circular economy by transforming waste into valuable opportunities. From organic farming and sustainable agriculture to community-driven environmental initiatives and innovative waste management solutions such as Black Soldier Fly composting, these projects demonstrate how local action can reduce waste, improve resource efficiency, and foster greener, healthier communities.
Enabled through Seberang Perai Small Towns Grants Programme under LUSP, these initiatives create opportunities for communities to adopt sustainable practices, build practical knowledge and skills, and develop innovative solutions that address local environmental challenges. Through collaboration between communities, government agencies, academic institutions, and industry partners, these projects strengthen environmental stewardship, encourage circular economy practices, and contribute to a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable Seberang Perai.
