Composting of Garden Waste Apart from construction waste and household waste, garden refuse is another kind of waste the Group must regularly deal with in our developments that feature lush landscapes. Tropicana practices composting to lower the garden waste we produce as well as the use of chemical fertilisers. Tropicana Aman, Tropicana Heights and Tropicana Gardens are examples of our developments in the Klang Valley where we convert landscape waste into organic compost. Paper Usage The Group’s architectural drawings and homeownership documentation, which require physical copies for official submissions and approvals, make up most of our paper consumption. Nonetheless, Tropicana has adopted various forms of digital communications with our stakeholders, which lower paper usage for such purposes. Further details about the Tropicana 360 application is available on Page 85. We began tracking the Group’s printing and paper procurement costs at our headquarters in FY2021. Such costs saw a marginal increase in FY2022. This is due to our employees spending less time in the office in FY2021 due to COVID-19 lockdowns.
