Resumen
Descripción
Malaysia’s home appliances sector generates substantial plastic waste, primarily from end-of-life items like refrigerators and televisions. Key recyclable plastics include polypropylene (PP) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), which have broad application potential. However, only a small portion of this waste is collected and recycled, highlighting the need for cross-sector recycling strategies such as open-loop systems. A national collaborative effort is essential to improve recycling in the electrical and electronics (E&E) sector. This third report in the Malaysian Plastic Circularity Series explores durable plastic recycling opportunities, aiming to attract private investment and build a sustainable market across the value chain.
