The construction industry in Malaysia is expected to grow at an average annual growth of 6.8% between 2021-2024. This growth will contribute significantly to Malaysia’s waste stream if we continue in the existing trajectory of construction and demolition material waste generation. Numerous aspects must be taken into account for the entire lifecycle of the building project; from the design and material selection, construction phase, refurbishment and the occupancy of the building. Each stage of the construction phase has its role in minimising and preventing unnecessary wastage of resources.

This 90 min webinar will cover the current waste generation scenario in Malaysia and its carbon impact , legal requirements of construction waste management by Malaysian authorities as well as waste management strategies in each construction phase.
