Summary

Malaysia remains the second-largest EU plastic waste importer despite pledges to limit imports. In 2023, EU plastic exports to Malaysia rose by 35%, with over a fifth of 8.5 million tons of waste directed there.

Critics argue EU exports have surged, while Malaysia struggles with inadequate recycling infrastructure, leading to pollution. Stronger regulatory measures are needed to combat illegal waste shipments and ensure proper disposal.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
