| dc.description.abstract | There is a genuine concern on
problems related to municipal solid
waste (MSW) management in
Malaysia. With waste generation
rates of 0.76 kg/person/day, Malaysia
will soon face serious problems
handling and disposing these wastes.
This paper focuses on how the
implementation of hierarchy of waste
management options can improve
the situation by reducing the amount
of waste reaching the final disposal
stage. The options include the
well-known 5R principles – replace,
reduce, re-use, recover and recycle.
An integrated and comprehensive
approach utilising regulatory and
economic instruments is also
discussed. | en_US |
