A Fruitful Visit: Pertanian Bandar DOA at PSJKM Creative Lab
On 10th January 2025, Pertanian Bandar DOA visited PSJKM’s Creative Lab in Puchong, Selangor. The visit aimed to explore the potential of Natural Dye and Eco Printing using agricultural waste. Dato’ Fully Chye Goet Lee, the chairman of PSJKM, warmly welcomed the delegation and introduced the Creative Lab’s initiatives.
The Role of Natural Dye and Eco Printing in Urban Agriculture
The visitors learned how PSJKM transforms plant-based materials into eco-friendly textiles. Creative Lab actively repurposes agricultural byproducts, such as onion skins and coconut husks, to create sustainable dyes. This process adds value to farm waste while promoting eco-conscious craftsmanship. Pertanian Bandar DOA saw an opportunity to empower urban farmers through innovative textile production.
By utilizing natural resources, farmers can reduce waste and contribute to the sustainable fashion industry. This eco-friendly approach not only minimizes environmental impact but also creates economic opportunities for local communities. Visitors were impressed by the depth of research and expertise required to produce vibrant, long-lasting dyes from plant materials.
Opening Doors for Collaboration
PSJKM and Pertanian Bandar DOA discussed possible partnerships. By incorporating Natural Dye and Eco Printing into urban farming initiatives, both organizations can create new economic opportunities. The delegation expressed keen interest in developing training programs to help urban farmers turn agricultural waste into high-value products.
Beyond training, there is potential to create a marketplace for sustainable textiles, connecting urban farmers with designers and businesses seeking ethical fabrics. This initiative aligns with Malaysia’s efforts to promote green entrepreneurship and reduce textile industry waste.
