E-waste Data in Malaysia in 2010-2020
Technology grows rapidly each day. People carry and use smartphones to instantly connect to the digital world. But disposing them when the gadgets run out of lives, not many Malaysians take responsibility for it.
​
There are about 50 million tonnes of electronic waste (e-waste) produced every year as estimated by the World Economic Forum, but only 20% of these wastes are being recycled. Malaysia is contributing around 1 million tonnes to the wastes and recycling only 25% of them. The remainder is either dumped or incinerated carelessly.
