The volume of waste generated and its impact on GHG emissions, land use, and health risk assessment: A study in Malaysia

Waste dumped in landfills was classified as mixed domestic waste or landfilled waste where the available data from 2014 to 2018 only at the time of data collection. Meanwhile, segregated wastes (plastic, paper, metal, aluminium, glass, and e-waste) were collected separately for recycling. As the mandatory waste segregation at source programme started in September 2015, the available data on segregated waste were selected from 2015 to 2018.

填埋场倾倒的垃圾被归类为混合生活垃圾或填埋垃圾，其2014至2018年的可用数据仅可在数据采集阶段获取。与此同时，分类垃圾（塑料、纸张、金属、铝制品、玻璃及电子垃圾（e-waste））则被单独收集用于回收利用。由于2015年9月启动了强制性源头垃圾分类方案，因此分类垃圾的可用数据选取时段为2015年至2018年。
