The Future of Better Management
E-Waste in Malaysia
E-Waste Management For Better
Get to Know E-Waste
Through "E-Waste Connect" Website
Welcome to E-Waste Connect, a dedicated platform created for my Final Year Project with a single mission: to tackle the growing challenge of electronic waste in Malaysia. As our nation embraces a digital future, the gadgets we leave behind shouldn't become a burden on our environment.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between awareness and action. We provide Malaysians with the knowledge they need to understand the impact of "digital trash," the history of our waste management, and practical ways to repair, donate, or recycle devices responsibly.
At E-Waste Connect, we believe that every old cable, broken phone, and unused laptop has a story—and with your help, that story can end with a cleaner, greener Malaysia. Explore our resources and join us in turning "waste" into a "win" for our planet.TYPE OF ELECTRONIC WASTE

Malaysia’s E-Waste Timeline
There is a history behind how e-waste in Malaysia has been rising lately.
1974
2005
2011

The eSWIS digital tracking system was introduced to monitor waste movement in real-time. This prevents illegal dumping by tracking e-waste from the source to the recycler. It made Malaysia's waste management much more transparent and secure.
2021
The Department of Environment (DOE) launched "National E-Waste Collection Day" to encourage monthly recycling habits. New mobile apps were also introduced to help Malaysians find their nearest drop-off points easily. Public awareness became the main priority for a cleaner environment.
2025
The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) law is being finalized to hold tech brands accountable. Companies must now help fund and manage the recycling of the devices they sell. This milestone is a huge step toward a zero-waste future for Malaysia.
