Project Bangku is a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) campaign by Alpro Foundation ( A subsidiary of Alpro Pharmacy), where Alproeans are realizing the idea of upcycling the wooden pallet and make it as a bench for the customer to sit while they are queueing at the outlets due to the restriction of social distancing.

With the increasing number of Covid- 19 cases every day, many people are now relying on online shopping to get their daily needs. That means supply chain and warehouses will use more wooden pallets to transport goods. According to the news from Bloomberg BusinessWeek, an estimate of 12 million tons of wood are sent to landfills every year. It is estimated that wooden pallets made up 90% of it.

Therefore to increase awareness not only among adults but also the children, we had an event called mini project bangku working out with Chan Wa school. We very much appreciate SMJK Chan Wa headmaster Ean Yong Moon to make the event successful, and also for all the participating students and staff to make the event fun and meaningful.
