17
Milestones
In April 1983 a national committee was set up to
finalize the drafting of the Policy Guidelines on
Handling, Storage, Transport and Disposal of
Toxic and Hazardous Wastes
In 1984, DOE proposed the National Strategy for
the Management of Toxic and Hazardous Waste
Regulations were gazetted on 27 April 1989 and
came into force on 1 May 1989
18
Milestones
18 Dec 1995 Kualiti Alam Sdn. Bhd. (KASB), was
awarded the exclusive right to implement and operate the
fully integrated facility for collection, transport, treatment
and disposal of scheduled waste.
Except radioactive, explosive and clinical wastes
Environmentally sound management of toxic and
hazardous wastes in Malaysia
Assurance that such wastes will be collected, treated and
disposed in a proper and safe manner

offender that export waste without approval from the DG in
January 2008, including a fine of RM 10,000 or 3 months
imprisonment was imposed by the court.
This stiffer penalty imposed is the consequence of the
amendment to the Environmental Quality Act 1974
enforced on 30th August 2007. With the amendment any
person committing an offence under Section 34B of the Act
(illegal disposal) is liable to a mandatory jail sentence not
exceeding 5 years and fines up to RM 500,000.00

HOUSEHOLD E-WASTE
WAY FORWARD
E-WASTE ALAM ALLIANCE PROGRAMME
Establishment of E-waste Alam Alliance is a followup of a pilot project 'The Development Model For
E-Waste Collection, Segregation & Transportation
from Household For Recycling which was carried
out in Penang under the sponsorship of the Japan
International Cooperation Agency (JICA) with the
cooperation between DOE Penang and Penang
Municipal Council.
DOE vs STAKEHOLDERS
TRANSFORMATIVE of E-WASTE MANAGEMENT

EHSNR SCHEME
Based on the information submitted by industry, DOE
will establish the Malaysian Chemicals Register. The
Malaysian Chemicals Register will contain information
about the identity of substances that have been
notified to DOE, their uses in Malaysia, their hazard
market in classification and the accumulated amounts
placed on the Malaysia.
76
EHSNR SCHEME
Covers all substances not covered by other
notification or registration schemes in Malaysia, and
substances fulfilling the criteria for classification as
hazardous in accordance with Globally Harmonised
System (GHS) or until the full implementation of GHS,
in accordance with the current classification
requirements for chemicals in Malaysia.
77
Statistics
Until 31 December 2012, 1,365 chemical companies had
been identified as potential manufacturers and importers for
EHS
365 chemical companies had registered online through the
EHSNR web page
From the registered companies: 1,738 EHS had been registered under the scheme
798 EHS had been officially notified
180 EHS were required to do detailed notification
EHS with detailed notification done so far totals to 149.
14 companies had registered as the overseas suppliers79
Contaminated Land
Definition:
land containing substances that when present in
sufficient concentrations, may cause harm to humans,
animals and the environment.
Contaminated Land
No specific regulations to address soil contamination
However, existing provisions under the EQA 1974: Section 24, 31, 33A & 34B
In the Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes)
Regulations 2005, contaminated soil is listed as a
scheduled waste requiring specific ways for its treatment
and disposal
81
Contaminated Land
DOE recognizes the environmental implications of
contaminated land as a potential problem
Year 2008 & 2009 - under the 9th Malaysia Plan, a
Study of the Criteria and Standards for
Managing and Restoring Contaminated Land in
Malaysia was initiated
Purpose of the study to provide a framework for
the proper assessment and management of
contaminated sites and subsequent clean-up and
restoration/remedial action
82
Contaminated Land
Outcome will provide useful information for the
formulation of policy and guidelines for future
development of contaminated sites
