The minister says signatories to the Basel Convention must be responsible for the cost of returning the plastic waste or its disposal in the country.

Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Minister Yeo Bee Yin.

The Basel Convention deals with the control of transboundary movements of hazardous waste and disposal. It aims to prevent hazardous waste from being transferred to less developed countries. “We will send it back to them but charge them. The costs will be borne by them. Or if it’s not practical and they cannot bring it back, then we will dispose of it and charge them as well.”The government began requesting that countries pay to clean up their waste here or take it back following the recent discovery of 24 containers of plastic waste from Spain at Port Klang, Selangor.

She announced today that five containers have already been returned to Spain following a request from Malaysia. She also said that operations are ongoing at Malaysian ports to check if plastic waste is being brought into the country. The Department of Environment will also check containers that hold plastic suspected to be dirty or brought in under false declarations.
