End-of-Life Vehicle Recycling Initiatives in Malaysia provides a comprehensive examination of the pressing challenges and opportunities surrounding ELV management in the country. Anchored in Malaysia's National Automotive Policy 2020, this book highlights the urgent need for responsible vehicle disposal and recycling practices to ensure environmental sustainability, economic growth, and alignment with circular economy principles. Drawing on extensive research, stakeholder consultations, and public perception studies, the book explores ELV expectations, current practices, environmental and economic impacts, and the critical role of authorised automotive treatment facilities. It concludes with practical recommendations for policymakers, industry players, and researchers to advance sustainable ELV management in Malaysia, This book is an essential reference for academics, practitioners, and decision-makers in automotive, environmental, and policy domains seeking to understand and contribute to the development of a more efticient and sustainable ELV ecosystem.
