Description
Summary:This paper presents rationality behind the establishment of an ELVs management system in Malaysia, in relation with the development of automotive industry in this country. Upon reviews on latest publications, there are currently three conditions of ELVs treated in Malaysia which are used on road, left abandoned and dumped at landfill. These improper treatment and management of ELVs certainly will give negative effects to the country, which are explained in environment, economic and social aspects. Subsequently, a survey will be conducted to obtain estimated percentage of each ELV condition, and the survey results will be the basis towards establishing an ELVs management system in Malaysia.
