Malaysia had shut down 14 illegal plastic recycling factories two months ago to maintain the healthiness and cleanliness of environment, report of The Star. As we know since younger age, recycle is vital for a better living circumstances. However, it will be bad if the plastic recycling factories did not obtain permission from the government and if they run an inappropriate recycle process.
For example, the Selangor Environment, Green Technology and Consumer Affairs committee chairman Hee Loy Sian has received 13 complaints about the illegal plastic recycling factories of Kuala Langat as stated in the Malaymail. The residents of Kuala Langat claimed in The Star that they get sick and illnesses more frequently after those illegal factories started to operate at there.
Therefore, the government had taken action to eliminate the illegal plastic recycling factories especially in Kuala Langat. Besides, The news website EUWID showed that Malaysia also restricted the import of plastic waste from all foreign countries such as German, United Kingdom and Japan. Unless receive approval from the government, it is restricted to import plastic waste.
