KUALA LUMPUR, May 1 — The National Circular Economy Council (NCEC) has agreed to a legislative transformation to ensure the circular economy for solid waste management can operate smoothly nationwide.
In a statement today, the Housing and Local Government Ministry (KPKT) pointed out that the transformation is necessary because the existing legislation is insufficient to implement a holistic circular economy.
“Therefore, there is a need to conduct a study for the drafting of Circular Economy bill to develop a more specific and comprehensive act that covers the product lifecycle from production to post-consumer products that can be adopted by all states,” read the statement.
The inaugural meeting was held yesterday, chaired by Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming and attended by representatives of relevant ministries, including state authorities, industry players and other stakeholders.
