Panasonic Sets New Malaysia Record, Inspires Youth Environmental Action through Battery Recycling Drive

Thanks Panasonic Malaysia for taking a major step forward for youth education and environmental responsibility. Panasonic Malaysia has reached a historic milestone with its flagship “Energy For Green Future – School Recycling Campaign 2.0”. The campaign has been officially recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records for achieving the “Most Batteries Recycled in a Single Event”, with over 100,000 used batteries collected and responsibly recycled.

This achievement involved over 30,000 students across 20 primary schools in Klang Valley, highlighting the power of education to drive real-world environmental impact.

The initiative reflects Panasonic’s corporate vision “Create Today. Enrich Tomorrow.”, which is rooted in long-standing commitment to holistic wellbeing for people, society, and the planet, inspired by Japan. This guiding principle continues to shape all Panasonic’s efforts across the region.

The grand finale, hosted at SJK (C) Yuk Chai, Petaling Jaya was attended by En. Yusaini Bin Salleh, Deputy Director, Student Development Sector of Selangor State Education Department (JPN Selangor); Mr. Keisuke Nishida, Managing Director of Panasonic Malaysia; Mr. Visut Thobpak, Director of Dry Battery Manufacturing Division, Panasonic Energy Thailand; Ms. Lau Swee San, Country Head of Panasonic Energy Malaysia; Dato Nigel Ng, Director of Jaring Metal Industries Sdn Bhd; and Mr. Robin Tan Tien Chye, Headmaster of SJK (C) Yuk Chai.

Mr. Keisuke Nishida, Managing Director of Panasonic Malaysia shared that at the heart of this initiative lies a pressing environmental challenge — the improper disposal of household batteries, which contain harmful chemicals that can contaminate soil and water if not handled correctly. By addressing this issue through education and action, Panasonic aims to build lasting awareness around responsible e-waste management and foster sustainable habits early in life.

“This campaign is more than just a recycling drive – it’s about empowering the next generation of environmental stewards. We are proud to deliver a meaningful program that combines education, action, and impact. The record we’ve set is a milestone, but the real achievement is instilling lifelong eco-conscious values in Malaysian students,” said Nishida.
