Since the 1950's, the use of plastic products globally has expanded twenty-fold, reaching 360 million tons in 2018 due to their low cost, various functional properties, durability and wide range of applications. In Malaysia, the plastic industry contributed RM 30.98 billion (USD 7.23 billion) to the national economy, representing 4.7% of Malaysia's GDP, in 2018. Mismanaged plastic waste has growing economic and environmental consequences. Malaysia is playing an active role at the regional level and setting ambitious national goals. This study addresses a critical need for a market assessment of the plastics value chain in Malaysia. 650 4 Environment 650 4 Environmental Economics and Policies 650 4 Environmental Protection 650 4 Macroeconomics and Economic Growth 650 4 Natural Resources Management 650 4 Pollution Management and Control 650 4 Private Investment 650 4 Private Sector Development 650 4 Private Sector Economics 650 4 Recycling 830 0 Other Environmental Study. 830 0 World Bank e-Library. 906 BOOK
