Despite a white paper from 2012 proposing an EPR scheme to prevent illegal tire recycling activities, Malaysia’s tire recycling industry remains unregulated
Barriers and challenges
- Data limitations thus prevented ELT estimation for Malaysia.
- Variability in collection practices, unregulated imports, piling issues, and recycler closures contribute to uncertainty in actual tire waste volumes.
