Abstract
Malaysian government has been proactive in pursuing green growth for sustainability and resilience. The attention is now shifted to e-waste due to the surge in demand for electric and electronic devices, especially after the pandemic Covid-19 hit. Focusing on Malaysian publicly listed technology and telecommunication companies, this study aims to identify the types of e-waste generated, how e-waste is managed, and the difference in e-waste practices between the two industries. This study found that screens and monitors and small IT and telecommunication equipment are the most e-waste generated by the two industries, whilst the least e-waste generated is industrial e-waste and temperature exchange equipment for technology and telecommunication industries. Moreover, both industries managed their e-waste by showing a high level of adherence to authorities’ rules, regulations and guidelines. Lastly, there is no significant difference between the two industries in managing their e-waste.
