By 2020, Malaysia is estimated to generate 1,119,155 metric tons of e-waste annually. In 2014, 232,000 metric tons of e-waste was generated in Malaysia. The amount of global e-waste is projected to reach 690,827,529 metric tons between 2008-2020. Current e-waste recycling practices in Malaysia are limited and more advanced recycling methods are needed. The government aims to fully implement extended producer responsibility for e-waste by 2035 to improve recycling.

Generation of E-Waste
E-WASTE IN MALAYSIA By year 2020, Malaysia were estimated to generate 1,119,155 metric tons of e-waste.
• The StEP (Solving the E-waste Problem)
organization had published a data from 184 countries on e-waste generation. • The latest amount recorded for generation of e-waste in Malaysia for 2014 alone was 232,000 metric ton. • The estimation of projected total with 690,827,529 metric ton of e-waste generation by year 2008-2020 Discussion: How can we reduce the e-waste from Personal computers?

Dismantling and Recycling Centers
• Based on the storage and production capacity of the
recovery facilities, every e-waste facility will be restricted by
an e-waste receiving quota set by the DOE. The online portal
eSWIS (2018) reported 119 facilities (by October 2018)
dealing with 36 are classified as full recovery facilities and
the remaining 77 are partial recovery facilities.

Government Legislation E-waste management Stakeholders
• Manufacturers of electrical and electronic products
• Importers of electrical and electronic products (new and secondhand) • Retailers of electrical and electronic products • Local councils • Charities and NGOs • Consumers • DOE licensed e-waste contractors • Scrap collectors • Department of Environment, Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment • National Solid Waste Management Department (NSWMD), Ministry of Housing and Local Government Malaysia (MHLG) E-waste recycling practices and challenges • Most of recovery facilities still limited to wet chemical processes, electrolysis processes, air separation and thermal. Those all lacking components need an urgent strategy and vast implementation in order to tackle the e-waste issue. • Full implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) by 2035. • The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a strategy to promote the integration of environmental cost in a way of extending the producer’s responsibility to the post-consumer stage. It is involving the entire lifecycle especially for take back, recycle and final disposal.
