Contents 1. Introduction2. Overview of plastic usage and waste in the E&E sector3. Challenges for durable plastic recycling in the home appliances sector 1. Introduction This report is the third in theMalaysian Plastic Circularity Series, a market assessment conducted in 2023-2024with the objective of offering comprehensive insights into Malaysia’s plastic recycling economy. The assessmentcovers topics along the value chain, including feedstock collection, infrastructure, policies, and initiatives toaddress plastic waste challenges, with an in-depth analysis of the electrical and electronics (E&E), automotive, This report centers on Malaysia’s durable plastic (Box 1) recycling value chain for the E&E sector. It focuseson home appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, and televisions, because theygenerate more potential recyclable waste than smaller household E&E products like laptops or smartphones. In Malaysia, the home appliances sector generates an estimated 70 kilotonnes of plastic waste per year fromend-of-life (EOL) home appliances. Polypropylene (PP) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) are the keyplastics for recycling, given their comparatively large waste volumes and their in-sector and cross-sectorapplication opportunities. Based on the study’s assessment, only about 20 percent of the durable plastic wastegenerated from EOL home appliances in Malaysia is collected, and of the collected waste, only 32 percent is The plastic recycling landscapes for Malaysia’s E&E and automotive sectors share similarities, particularly thekey durable plastic resins used and the EOL management processes, including waste recovery and recycling. In Malaysia, the home appliancessector generates an estimated 2. Overview of plastic usage and waste in In Malaysia, the packaging sector consumes the most plastic, accounting for 45 percent of consumption in2023. The E&E sector is the largest non-packaging and durable plastic user, comprising 28 percent of plasticconsumption (Figure 1). IFC has developed a global durable pla
