The climate crisis is right before our eyes, and you can help drive the solution!
The impact of the climate crisis in Malaysia is becoming increasingly severe. From devastating floods, prolonged heatwaves, peatland and forest fires, landslides, rising sea levels, hazardous air pollution that claims lives, to the threat of extinction for our unique flora and fauna.

1. It has been found that Malaysia only has the capacity to recycle 16% of domestic + imported waste. As a result, very little domestic household plastics get recycled.
2. Malaysia produces about 2.4 million tonnes of plastic waste per year, which is about 8 times the weight of the Petronas Twin Towers.
3. The equivalent of a truckload of plastic enters the oceans every minute. 

With your monthly donation, Greenpeace can have more resources and strength to push for climate crisis solutions, ensuring a more sustainable and peaceful Earth for current and future generations.

Take action now and donate to help make our campaigns stronger and more impactful. It all starts with YOU! 

1. By early 2019, the Malaysian government publicly announced the decision to send back imported waste intercepted at the Klang and Penang ports to its respective origins. The status of the discarded waste that remains in Malaysia remained uncertain, so we carried out a joint investigation in July and August 2019 at several locations suspected to have imported plastic waste on site.
2. We continue to empower individuals towards more sustainable daily habits. Our ongoing efforts focus on showcasing the real-world impact of our initiatives, demonstrating positive influence we can create in our homes and communities.
3. Greenpeace is actively involved in global plastics treaty negotiations. We have been tirelessly lobbying the Malaysian government to prioritise the plastic issue and take meaningful action. Our efforts aim to secure full commitment from governments to address plastic pollution effectively.

Greenpeace is campaigning for a strong Global Plastics Treaty that tackles plastic pollution at its root: production.

Our Approach

Plastic pollution doesn’t stop at borders, and neither should the solutions.

A strong Global Plastics Treaty sets global rules that hold the biggest polluters accountable, stop plastic dumping in vulnerable communities, and tackle the problem at its root: by cutting plastic production and focusing on upstream solutions, not just cleanup. Our approach focuses on turning this vision into reality:

1. Drive political action

   We engage local and global policymakers through lobbying, roundtable discussions, and direct advocacy, encouraging them to champion a strong Global Plastics Treaty on behalf of our country and region.

2. Expose the system

   Through investigations, research, and storytelling, we expose the companies driving plastic pollution and the false solutions like burning plastic or pretending recycling is enough.

3. Mobilise global pressure

   We support people-powered actions across borders, from marching to digital campaigns, especially elevating voices from the Global South and frontline communities.

4. Center justice and equity

   We work with allies, activists, and affected communities to ensure the treaty doesn’t just serve powerful countries or corporations, but protects people and the planet.
