• The Last Straw Campaign
The Last Straw Campaign at Sunway University aims to reduce the amount of single-use plastic on campus. While it initially started with driving out plastic straws supplied by vendors on campus, it has now progressed to NO single-use plastic including plates, cups, cutlery and any sort of single-use supply effective December 2022.

• “Planet Saving Meals”
The meat industry is the single largest contributor to agriculture-related greenhouse gas emissions. As the Malaysian diet mainly consists of meat, this proves to be a difficult task for the nation. Hence, a video-series of Planet Saving Meals, were developed by the University to promote sustainable food choices. A cooking series based on meat-free meals, it aims to encourage sustainable food choices by offering plant-based alternatives that would taste equally flavourful. The School of Hospitality and Management and the Sunway Centre for Planetary Health features several local dishes which use fruits as alternative to meat.

The first episode was released in preparation for the Eid celebrations, exploring jackfruit as a plant-based alternative to beef and chicken for the must-have rendang. Jackfruit is a sustainable crop, easy to grow in Malaysia’s tropical climate and even proposed as an ideal replacement for wheat, corn and other staple crops under threat from climate change.
