Imported plastic provides some certainty and scale for feedstocks that are ready and suitable for recycling, making up for Malaysia's low domestic plastic waste collection. To foster a more sustainable future, the country aims to reduce its dependency on imports by prioritizing the development and enhancement of domestic waste management systems, ultimately striving for a circular economy. This report is the second in the Malaysian Plastic Circularity Series, a market assessment conducted in 2023-2024 with the objective of providing comprehensive insights into Malaysia's plastic recycling economy. It covers topics along the value chain, including feedstock collection, infrastructure, policies, and initiatives to address plastic waste challenges, with an in-depth analysis of the electrical and electronics (E&E), automotive, construction, and healthcare sectors.en-USCC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGOPLASTIC POLLUTIONPLASTIC RECYCLINGDOMESTIC WASTE MANAGEMENTCIRCULAR ECONOMYWorking PaperWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/43766
