Malaysia will send back containers with tonnes of plastic waste from abroad that do not meet the stipulated requirements, said the Ministry of Housing and Local Government .

Also to be returned are containers without plastic waste import licence and contain uncleaned and non-homogeneous plastic waste.

These countries supply high quality and clean plastic waste such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene lumps and polyethylene films.
