PETALING JAYA: Plastics have had a bad reputation for decades now. It is non-biodegradable, and used and discarded plastic items end up in oceans, posing a threat to marine life.
However, according to producers and recyclers of the material, such a label is unjustified.
Plastics by itself does not pollute. The fault lies with people – how they use it and dispose of it is the problem.

Report: Recyclers rely on imported waste


Lower quality: According to a World Bank report, plastic scrap that originates in Malaysia has higher amounts of contamination such as dirt and waste.
PETALING JAYA: An estimated 70% of plastic recycled in the country are imported scrap, says a World Bank report on plastic recycling in Malaysia.
“Plastic recyclers rely on such imports because imported material is often cheaper, ” said the World Bank in the recently released report titled “Malaysia: Plastics Circularity Opportunities and Barriers”.
For example, local HDPE (high density polyethylene) material is 17% costlier compared to imported material while local PET (polyethylene terephthalate) material costs 20% more.
The report also said local material is of poorer quality due to a lack of “design-for-recycling” and it has higher amounts of contamination such as dirt and waste. ....
