We transform recycled plastic waste into beautiful jewellery — empowering marginalised communities with dignified employment across Sabah, Malaysia.
LJD Corporation is a social enterprise based in Sabah, Malaysia, dedicated to transforming recycled plastic waste into premium tourism products and jewellery.
Plastic waste can take up to 500 years to decompose. We intercept this cycle — converting harmful waste into beautiful, valuable goods while driving socio-economic development in Sabah.
Through our four-pillar framework of Recruit, Invest, Train, and Empower, we create real pathways to dignity and independence for marginalised community members.
Four pillars that drive our mission — from first contact to lasting empowerment
We identify and recruit marginalised community members, opening pathways to meaningful employment and economic independence in Sabah.
We invest in our communities through resources, infrastructure, and strategic partnerships that build long-term sustainable livelihoods.
We provide hands-on skills training in jewellery crafting, product design, and business fundamentals — equipping artisans for lasting success.
We empower artisans with dignified work, fair wages, and the pride of creating beautiful products that make a global environmental impact.
Handcrafted jewellery pieces made entirely from recycled plastic — transformed into stunning wearable art that carries a story of environmental impact.
