Industrialized and developing countries today are plagued by the gravity of the problem of e-waste. Managing e-waste is a global environmental problem that has created significant environmental damage in some parts of the world. Although Malaysia has plans to manage e-waste, there are still difficulties, and the need to manage e-waste is now even more pressing. Therefore, to manage e-waste effectively, it is necessary to develop general, structured policy measures to address the issue within the nation and globally. This chapter aims to explore the sustainability issues in Malaysia, challenges towards e-waste management in Malaysia, an overview of e-waste policy implementation, the effects of e-waste on the environment, the activities organized by the government and other organizations, and the mechanism of e-waste management in Malaysia. By making diverse research contributions, it would eventually encourage the growth of sustainable e-waste management in Malaysia. |
