As of the year of 2008, 23,000 tonnes of waste is produced each day in Malaysia, with less than 5% of the waste
is being recycled. In Selangor alone, waste generated in 1997 was over 3000t/day and the amount of waste is
expected to rise up to 5700t/day in the year 2017. An alarming 19% of waste ends up in our drains, which then
causes flash floods and drainage blockage. This situation has been and will be reducing our environmental capacity
to sustain life.
