Got leftover package materials? Pos Malaysia is giving goodies in return for those.
From now until 31 August, Pos Malaysia is running a Take Back Programme that lets Malaysians give their used courier materials a second life, instead of sending them straight to landfills.
According to Pos Malaysia, this initiative is in partnership with .Bungkus, a local brand that upcycles discarded packaging into stylish accessories.
You will get exclusive Pos Malaysia merch and more when you drop off at least 20 pieces of used courier packaging
You'll be rewarded with goodies like:
– Bamboo pens
– Reusable non-woven bags
– Pos Shop vouchers
– .Bungkus key holders
– Pos Malaysia keychains
These gifts are based on available stock and will be awarded to you through a lucky draw system.
This initiative isn't just about cleaning out your online shopping stash. It's part of Pos Malaysia's bigger sustainability plan.
By teaming up with .Bungkus, they aim to send cardboard to approved recycling facilities as well as divert soft plastics from landfills to be repurposed into accessories such as bags, wallets, pouches, keychains, cardholders, and more.
The goal? The company aims to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, recycle half of all operational waste, and ensure 80% of packaging used is made of recycled content by 2025.

That pilot proved that Malaysians do care about sustainability, especially when it's made simple, rewarding, and community-driven.
