The permits are issued by the National Solid Waste Management Department within the housing and local government ministry.
A few of the 265 containers of plastic waste stranded at the North Butterworth Container Terminal since January.
In July last year, the ministry announced a three-month suspension for the issuance of permits following an incident of contamination in Kuala Langat, Selangor, believed to have been caused by a factory processing plastic waste illegally. “If any of the companies is found to have brought in contaminated plastic waste or goods, the NSWMD will blacklist them. If they commit a subsequent offence, they will face suspension and possible revocation of their permits,” he told Bernama.
Last month, the minister ordered 60 containers laden with contaminated plastic waste, stranded at Port Klang, to be sent back to the respective countries of origin in stages.
