Introduction
Effective waste handling is crucial for industries across Malaysia. As regulations tighten and environmental awareness grows, scheduled waste management in Malaysia has become a core concern for manufacturers. Partnering with a licensed expert like Hydro Metal helps businesses remain compliant while protecting the environment.
What Is Scheduled Waste in Malaysia?
Scheduled waste refers to hazardous materials listed under the Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations 2005. These include:
- Spent solvents
- Chemical sludge
- Used oil
- Heavy metals
Proper handling, storage, transportation, and disposal are mandatory for all scheduled waste generators.
Legal Framework and Compliance
Malaysia’s Department of Environment (DOE) requires all waste-generating businesses to:
- Identify scheduled waste using SW codes
- Label and store waste correctly
- Use e-consignment notes for tracking
- Appoint licensed contractors for transport and treatment
Non-compliance can lead to serious legal and environmental consequences.
Common Challenges in Waste Management
Many companies struggle with:
- Incorrect waste categorisation
- Poor documentation practices
- Inadequate training on handling protocols
- Risk of contamination or fines due to non-compliance
These issues are widespread in SMEs with limited internal resources.
