Project Summary
CROWFUNDING CAMPAIGN FOR #RECYCLINGWITHPURPOSE: CALL FOR DONATIONS TO KICKSTART OUR FLAGSHIP PROJECT
Looking for a way to make a change? Do you have a cause you’re passionate about? What if we told you that you could take care of Mother Earth and support a social cause at the same time? Good news! We at The Fourth R can help to transform your trash into impactful cash to support your cause, thrusting a sense of purpose into your recycling effort.
Did you know that your backyard might be the next dumping site? Despite waste separation being mandatory in several states, recycling has yet to become a communal habit. How can we solve these issues and encourage good practice in our society?
Our solution: Making recycling purposeful and accessible!
To realise our flagship project, #RecyclingWithPurpose, we are preparing for the launch of our pioneer recycling collection centre: Sunway Pyramid’s Recycling Centre by T4R at B2 Parking Lobby of Sunway Pyramid Mall, Subang Jaya in September 2021. In partnership with Sunway Pyramid and Trash4Cash, the centre will provide a digital, customer-centric recycling solution at a strategic and easily-accessible location. The proceeds that we gain from recycling your waste will be channeled directly to NGOs and charities in need that are aligned to your purpose.
The recycling journey at our centre consists of 5 stages :
- Dropping off your recyclable items at our recycling centre
- Stating your purpose through our list of critical social causes or your own personal resolutions. We will match it with our pool of beneficiaries
- Your recyclable items will be recycled by our trusted recycling partner
- A portion of the proceeds gained from your recyclables will be donated directly to our pool of beneficiaries
- We collect data throughout the value chain and provide you with tailored insights
The project has initiated meaningful collaboration to fit in with your sense purpose through our chosen pool of beneficiaries who are working hard to create impact in the following critical social areas:
- Environment: Global Environment Centre
- Disaster Relief, Emergency: Humanity Heroes Foundation
- Education: Hands for Education
- Poverty: PERTIWI
- Women and Family: Monsters Among Us
So, why should you support us? As a young Social Enterprise, raising capital to deliver our vision is a challenge. With your support to raise a total of RM60k, we will be able to successfully implement our project in terms of launching (47%), operations (25%), marketing initiatives (25%) and technology solutions (3%). We understand that there are currently many other causes in need, however we strongly believe that donations towards our project can create a massive ripple effect in providing sustainable financing through what would otherwise be considered worthless: your waste. In the long run, with your help and success of this project, we will be able to set up more centres all over the nation and support an even wider range of neglected NGOs.
The timeline of the project is as below:
- Mar '21 - Apr '21 : Project conceptualisation
- May '21 - Jul '21 : Securing partners and project planning
- Aug '21 : Finalising operations and centre development
- Sep '21 : Launching of #RecyclingWithPurpose as Sunway Pyramid's Recycling Centre by T4R in Subang Jaya
- Feb '22 : End of 6-month pilot project and post mortem. BAU if project exceed minimum business threshold.
