Malaysian Waste & Recycling Trade Show Largest in ASEAN Region : IGEM Exhibition to Tackle Global Waste Management Issue in Kuala Lumpur

This year’s three day International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM) is set to start 11 October at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in Malaysia.

The organisers said that with an estimated 7 to 10 billion tonnes of urban waste generated from residential, commercial, industrial and construction sites, solid waste management is now a global concern. Effective and efficient waste management is critical, as left unchecked these poor practices could not only pose negative effects on the environment but also jeopardise public health.

The rapid rate of population growth has made the adoption of good waste management practices even more urgent with governments across the ASEAN region increasing their investments within the sector to address the rising environmental impact of waste generation.
