AFPWaste management has been a constant struggle even for larger and more developed islands, where approximately 60 percent of collected wastes are disposed of in non-sanitary landfills, 35 percent illegally burned and disposed, and 5 percent being dumped directly into the ocean.
The IIWM project is currently being implemented in two states: Terengganu and Johor. In the former, UNDP is collaborating with the Terengganu State Government on its two islands, Pulau Redang and Pulau Perhentian Kecil. In Johor, UNDP is partnering with a local NGO, Tengah Island Conservation that specializes in biodiversity management.
A waste survey conducted under IIWM captured a more than 10-fold increase in waste collected during the holidays compared to pre-holiday waste collection, which highlights the importance of the private sector taking a larger and more proactive role in the waste management system on the islands.
