E-Waste Practices Post-Pandemic Covid-19: The Case Of Malaysian Technology and Telecommunication Companies
Malaysian government has been proactive in pursuing green growth for sustainability and resilience. The attention is now shifted to e-waste due to the surge in demand for electric and electronic devices, especially after the pandemic Covid-19 hit. Focusing on Malaysian publicly listed technology and telecommunication companies, this study aims to identify the types of e-waste generated, how e-waste is managed, and the difference in e-waste practices between the two industries. This study found that screens and monitors and small IT and telecommunication equipment are the most e-waste generated by the two industries, whilst the least e-waste generated is industrial e-waste and temperature exchange equipment for technology and telecommunication industries. Moreover, both industries managed their e-waste by showing a high level of adherence to authorities’ rules, regulations and guidelines. Lastly, there is no significant difference between the two industries in managing their e-waste.
期刊介绍:

These all issues call for substantial research to achieve a very modern sustainable business era of the global economy. IJBMS intends to focus on the business and management issues with the vision of sustainable competitiveness along with scientific evidences. The quantitative approach for analyzing a research problem is promoted by IJBMS.
