Plastic manufacturers exports to rise

Kenanga Research said investments in innovative packaging are crucial for efficient waste collection, sorting and recycling.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysian plastic manufacturers’ exports have seen a 10% on-year rise in orders in 2024, which they expect to sustain into 2025.

Exports are however expected to be at a slower level next year, with the help of the adoption of recycling technologies and gradual imposition of extended producer responsibility schemes to incentivise sustainable practices.
