Travelers enjoy coconut products, but their waste often ends up in landfills, causing environmental damage and methane emissions. To combat this, we created CocoVenier, transforming coconut waste into eco-friendly souvenirs like fiber bottle bags, keychains, and handbags. We collect discarded coconuts from vendors, exchange them for raw materials, and give these to the local community to craft souvenirs. This system reduces waste, raises awareness about proper disposal, and creates jobs, boosting the local economy. Therefore, CocoVenier's handmade souvenirs offer tourists authentic mementos infused with local traditions and craftsmanship, distinguished by their quality and sustainability. They stand out from mass-produced items, serving as cherished reminders of Malaysia's cultural heritage.
