KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28  -- Project Benih by Tropical Rainforest Conservation and Research Centre (TRCRC) and Project ERTH by Blue Bee Technologies have emerged as the first two winners of the Maxis Awards for green-themed projects with forward-thinking solutions towards nature conservation and environmental sustainability.

Maxis, in a statement, said that the inaugural Maxis Awards was designed to empower, recognise and support outstanding Malaysian social enterprises whose initiatives and contributions drive positive impact for the public.

“We are thrilled to welcome our first two winners and look forward to supporting them to see through their projects to impact Malaysian society and beyond. We also hope to see more local enterprises participating in the next round,” said Maxis Brand and Marketing head Tai Kam Leong.

Project Benih is an initiative to mitigate the biodiversity collapse caused by forest loss witnessed across the world. 

With digital solutions from Maxis, Project Benih will support its network of germination nurseries in bringing these trees from the rainforest to retail markets, supporting community-led restoration projects.

 Meanwhile, Blue Bee Technologies’ Project ERTH is the first on-demand electronic recycling solution in ASEAN.

“With Maxis’ technological and marketing capabilities, they aim to promote proper electronic recycling practices, utilise a network of gig-economy freelancers to collect old, used or unwanted electronics directly from Malaysian households and businesses.

“ERTH will pay cash rewards or vouchers as a reward upon collection, and then reuse, repair or recycle the electronics to maximise their value,” according to the statement. 

Award winners will benefit from digital solutions, consultations and promotions funded by Maxis to bring winning ideas to life.

According to the statement, the Maxis Awards is seeking up to three winning projects in its next round submissions, to be announced in February 2022.

Each winner will receive up to RM150,000 in Maxis Business solutions such as Cloud, e-commerce and IoT; technical expertise and a financial grant to help cover operational needs of the initiative.

Interested Malaysian enterprises can submit proposals from now until  Nov 28 on projects that could have a significant impact on the community and drive positive change.
