PETALING JAYA: The United Kingdom has agreed to repatriate 42 containers comprising illegal shipments of plastic waste from Malaysia in accordance with the Basel Convention, says the British High Commission.
The High Commission said that authorities and shipping agents were currently working together in the repatriation process.
The EA held a series of meetings with the Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Ministry , the Environment Department, Malaysian Customs, relevant port authorities and other Malaysian agencies. The British High Commissioner to Malaysia Charles Hay said the UK shared the same concerns as the Malaysian Government on the issue of plastic waste.
This led to a number of Chinese companies relocating their operations to Malaysia, with some setting up shop here as soon as the Chinese government announced the ban in 2017.
