马来西亚塑料循环系列：探索电气和电子行业的塑料循环利用机会

Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an investment rating for the electrical and electronic (E&E) industry regarding plastic recycling opportunities. Core Insights - The report focuses on the recycling value chain of durable plastics in the E&E sector in Malaysia, particularly from household appliances, highlighting the potential for market creation and attracting private sector investment [13][14]. - Approximately 70,000 tons of plastic waste are generated annually from discarded household appliances in Malaysia, with only about 20% of this waste being collected for recycling [14][36]. - The report emphasizes the need for nationwide collaboration to improve plastic recycling rates in the E&E sector [14]. Summary by Sections 1. Introduction - This report is part of the Malaysia Plastic Circularity Series, aimed at providing comprehensive insights into the plastic recycling economy in Malaysia, covering various sectors including E&E [12]. 2. Overview of Plastic Use and Waste in the E&E Industry - The E&E industry is the largest non-packaging user of durable plastics in Malaysia, accounting for 28% of plastic consumption in 2023 [16]. - Malaysia ranks among the top 10 countries for durable plastic recycling market potential, according to the IFC's scoring system [16][23]. 3. Challenges in Recycling Durable Plastics in Household Appliances - The household appliance sector generates significant plastic waste, primarily from polypropylene (PP) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), but faces challenges in collection and recycling [52]. - The lack of a formal collection system leads to an estimated 80% loss of plastic waste, which often ends up in landfills or is illegally burned [57]. 4. Global Initiatives to Enhance E&E Plastic Recycling - Some countries have established central entities to monitor and promote recycling activities, which could serve as a model for Malaysia [64]. - Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) systems have been implemented in various countries, holding producers accountable for the recycling of their products [65]. 5. Unlocking Recycling Value Opportunities - The report identifies several opportunities within the Malaysian household appliance sector to enhance the circularity of durable plastics [82].
