Malaysia is facing the challenge of sustaining its economic progress while ensuring ecological balance. Within this context waste management has gotten the attention not just from domestic entities but to international organizations considering Malaysia’s commitments under the Agreement on Climate Changes and the goal to reduce marine pollution. Since waste management covers an extensive subject and is comprised of various topics such as classification, collection,
sorting,recycling, combustion, and decommissioning proper disposal of an adequate amount trash to the different landfills isn’t a guaranteed way to accomplish sustainable waste-management goals.

What are the Sources of Waste?

<br.vaadin.component.html[H4] Households and Commercial premises*

Householders are the sole originators source of waste through household waste they dispose of garbage on a yearly basis. Residential areas are always under the
supervises of local regulatory authorities. Also, commercial or business premises. As a example of a public sector, we’ve got several areas that add waste to collection sites. Retail and wholesale goods in addition of commercial and Industrial sites. Offices and other office premises. On top of restaurants and hotels together with other hoteliers. Some are also small scale industries but still contribute much.

Within this context one could say as we’ve developed an industrial or commercial sector an assortment of plastic waste, papers, and recycling of materials becomes part of many products. All sorts of construction waste, e.g., stones, sand.
Metal waste along with other
raw materials being part of that type. Inorganic materials like waste generated from processes related to coal and oil also.

Many of the environmental hazards and impact that waste create have been on construction sites are seen. Mining operations, gas fields, logging operations, which create waste generation sites. To prevent waste is important to use environmentally friendly material handling practices instead of using this for waste is more important

Data on Waste Handling

*
With regard to quantity and quality assessment waste management information Malaysia has its data. Per year, some statistics show on waste generation
* Annual waste generation increases in Malaysia about 2 – 3 from the past fifteen years.
Within 2012 to 2125, municipal solid waste had an average reduction rate of from 1,
and 34,000 with the total total solid waste as
To illustrate the challenges facing waste,
we have our national waste amount for 50 years. Malaysian Institute for Supply as part of work by the local and international study team. (Figure 17).
So to address climate change and air pollution, implementing strategies for clean
of landfills from a sustainable focus should be at the forefront strategy to
make our waste efficient management system clear of waste effective.
Data indicates that municipal waste generation tends to increase about 2 years annually. Thus the need must address the urgent situation of trash accumulation and implement more sustainable choices to reduce disposal
with respect to energy generation and sustainable management of resource usage.
Some possible solutions from
these facts are strategies like waste-based biofuels to generate or recycle
gas to generate alternative sources of raw materials. Then use waste resources as
possible by using our local waste from different sources at local levels which we
The waste itself becomes a crucial factor in building and maintaining it for
management.
