In recent months, several countries in Asia experienced massive typhoon, flash flood, and extreme weather changes. As part of the mitigation of global environmental challenges, country leaders are seeking innovative strategies to balance economic growth with sustainability. Malaysia is among those making significant strides, particularly through its recent adoption of a Circular Economy Policy Framework. This initiative, introduced by the Ministry of Investment, Trade, and Industry (MITI), marks a pivotal step in transitioning the country away from resource-intensive, fossil fuel-based economic models towards a more sustainable, circular economy.
