Description of Invention

Malaysia faces rising e-waste and plastic pollution, with 364 kilotonnes of e-waste generated in 2022 and 30 million plastic bags used daily. Small electronic components and plastic from everyday gadgets, like self-stirring mugs, often end up in landfills despite their upcycling potential. Additionally, affordability limits access to sustainable smart products. EcoStir Mug introduces a practical, eco-conscious alternative: a self-stirring mug made from repurposed electronics and recycled materials. Designed as a DIY or upcycled solution, it addresses both e-waste and plastic pollution while promoting sustainable consumer habits among Malaysians who value affordability, functionality, and environmental responsibility.
