ASEAN Records is proud to officially recognise De Carton Sdn Bhd for achieving:
First ESG Consumer Bazaar Constructed Using Recyclable Cardboard-Based Event Infrastructure, Planned Around Circular Economy Principles, Supplied by a Single Provider
(2,988 sq ft event space with 175 cardboard-based infrastructure structures, assembled from a total of 1,761 cardboard pieces supplied by a provider with ISO 14064-1–verified GHG emissions intensity)
This recognition celebrates De Carton’s achievement in delivering a 2,988-square-foot ESG consumer bazaar featuring 175 recyclable cardboard-based structures assembled from 1,761 cardboard pieces, demonstrating how sustainable materials and circular economy principles can be incorporated into large-scale event infrastructure.
The milestone highlights the company’s commitment to environmentally responsible design, innovative cardboard engineering and resource-efficient event solutions, offering an alternative approach to conventional exhibition and event construction.
Constructing an ESG Consumer Bazaar with 175 Cardboard Structures
De Carton demonstrated its sustainable event infrastructure capabilities through Sayang Green 2026, an ESG-focused consumer bazaar held from 16 to 18 January 2026 at IPC Shopping Centre, Selangor.
Covering 2,988 square feet, the event featured 175 cardboard-based infrastructure structures assembled from 1,761 recyclable cardboard pieces, incorporating exhibition displays, counters and other functional event elements.
The project demonstrated how recyclable cardboard materials could be designed and assembled into practical event structures while supporting the functionality and visual presentation of a consumer bazaar.
Applying Circular Economy Principles to Event Design
Unlike conventional event infrastructure that frequently relies on plywood, plastic and other materials, De Carton’s approach emphasises recyclable cardboard-based structures designed with circular economy principles in mind.
Its modular structures are developed to support efficient assembly, dismantling and material recovery, encouraging greater consideration of resource use throughout the event infrastructure lifecycle.
By incorporating recyclable materials into event design and construction, De Carton demonstrates how businesses can explore more sustainable alternatives for temporary exhibitions, retail activations and public events.
Strengthening Environmental Accountability Through Carbon Verification
Beyond recyclable materials, De Carton’s recognised achievement incorporates the company’s commitment to measurable environmental accountability through ISO 14064-1–verified greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity.
ISO 14064-1 provides a framework for the organisational quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals, supporting a structured approach to environmental measurement and disclosure.
The ASEAN Records recognition acknowledges De Carton’s integration of recyclable event infrastructure, circular design principles and verified emissions reporting, highlighting its contribution to advancing sustainability-focused event solutions.
A Milestone Moment of Recognition
ASEAN Records recognition was officially presented on 20 October 2026 at Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown, during the 10th Gather of Achievers – ASEAN Records & ASIA Records Gala Night 2026.
The recognition was received on stage by Ken Loo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of De Carton, representing the company’s leadership and project teams whose collective efforts contributed to the development and delivery of the recyclable cardboard-based ESG consumer bazaar.
Voices of Leadership
Ken Loo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of De Carton, shared:
“Receiving ASEAN Records recognition is a meaningful milestone for De Carton and reflects our belief that sustainability should be incorporated into the way products and event spaces are designed, built and used.
Through this ESG consumer bazaar, we demonstrated that recyclable cardboard can be transformed into functional and visually engaging event infrastructure. Our goal is to continue developing practical solutions that support circular economy principles, encourage responsible resource use and inspire businesses to rethink conventional approaches to event construction.”
