Setia City Convention Centre Supports Plastic Upcycling Initiative
SHAH ALAM – S P Setia’s Setia City Convention Centre, a multi-purpose convention centre, is proud to join Grab, F&N and KLEAN’s plastic upcycling initiative, serving as the location partner for the first-ever Reversible Vending Machine (RVM) for recycling plastic food packaging in Setia Alam. This sustainable initiative aims to redirect plastic food packaging waste away from the ocean and landfills, repurposing them into reusable items.
Conveniently located at the West Entrance of the convention centre, surrounding communities are welcomed to drive-thru to drop off rinsed plastic food containers at the AI-enhanced smart recycling machine without the need of entering the parking lot.
Sponsored by Grab and F&N, users will get rewarded for recycling the plastic food containers via the KLEAN app. Simply download the KLEAN app and collect points through recycling plastic containers and aluminium cans, regardless of sizes and shapes. Accumulated points can then be redeemed for various vouchers via the app, such as Grab vouchers, Touch ‘n Go credits and et cetera.

The RVM operates daily from 9 am to 9.30 pm and are subject to change based on demand. With every recyclable item deposited into the machine, Setia City Convention Centre will also receive 10% of the carbon offset score, which is reflected on the KLEAN dashboard.
This partnership is in line with the convention centre’s ongoing sustainability efforts, consistent with S P Setia Bhd’s overarching dedication to creating sustainable communities and enriching lifestyles. “Food delivery is the new normal, and recycling larger and uniquely shaped plastic food containers has posed a challenge. We are excited to be part of Grab, F&N, and KLEAN’s initiative to encourage our communities to recycle their plastic food containers, promoting greener choices in their daily lives and making a collective contribution to a greener future for all,” expressed Datuk Yuslina Mohd Yunus, Senior Executive Vice President of S P Setia Bhd.
Situated in Setia Alam, Setia City Convention Centre is the first Green Building Index (GBI) Certified convention centre boasting various sustainable features such as a rainwater harvesting system, solar panels, EV charging station, energy-efficient LED lighting, and an Energy Management System (EMS) to monitor and reduce utility consumption.
Easily accessible through the NKVE highway, it serves as a green venue for environmentally conscious event organisers who seek to host their events while contributing to a better tomorrow.
