Reusable items, usually furniture and air condition systems, will be collected by the Internal Courier team and sent to HQ for restoration and redeployment. To be aligned with our sustainable practices, the Group will undertake regular review of the list of items and materials that could be upcycled. Additionally, MYEG monitors its food waste throughout the office, as food is the main contributor to creating greenhouse gases as it decomposes. In order to reduce our food waste, food compositing machines will be placed in the office where a limited weight of food waste can be deposited. We also designate bins for food waste, as this follows a similar idea to our recycling initiatives. We remain committed to expanding our recycling policy and procedures in regards to recycling other types of wastes, which will be developed and suitably implemented in the future when feasible to do so. These may include recovering and recycling equipment and materials related to the Group’s operations. The Group will continue to develop further policies that promote and cascade recycling of waste within our supply chain. E-WASTE As mentioned earlier, MYEG is an online service provider that uses the latest technology and heavily utilises computers to provide products and services to customers. The latest technology is required to provide our customers with the best possible experience. This would mean constant upgrades to the technology we already have, and the disposal of older technology has to take place. The problem arises when there is improper disposal of these old electronic devices, which can lead to hazardous components being leaked into the environment through landfills. This is why MYEG ensures a structured and responsible disposal of damaged / non-usable electrical and electronic items. For example, parts of an old computer can easily be reused in another appliance instead of being thrown away. From FY2020 to FY2022, we conducted the disposal of the following items to the recycling contractor: FY2020 FY2021 FY2022 Computer & Central Processing Unit (CPU) 1 0 79 Tablet 0 930 0 Accessories 120 221 633 Equipment 380 361 658 Total 501 1,512 1,370 MYEG is potentially considering joining e-waste recycling weeks that are set up by the Department of Environment to further its participation in recycling e-waste. Future e-waste solutions will be considered by the Board. 95
