 DEVELOPMENT OF GREEN TECHNOLOGY
 National Green Technology Policy was introduced in 2009 to help pave a way
for a wider utilisation of Green Technology in various sectors in Malaysia.

 Green Technology is a technology or application developed to minimise the

negative effects of harmful human activities.

 Malaysia Green Technology and Climate Change centre also known as

GreenTech Malaysia is a government agency responsible for initiating various
programmes and incentives to encourage the adoption of Green Technology in
various economic sectors in Malaysia.
GREEN TECHNOLOGY SECTORS AND THE APPLICATIONS
INVOLVED
GREEN TECHNOLOGY IN WASTE AND WASTEWATER
MANAGEMENT

 Utilised with the aim of ensuring more efficient waste management, reduction in
greenhouse gases emission and removal of cleaner wastewater.

 The carbon footprints can also be indirectly reduced.\

 Green Technology approaches in waste and wastewater management:

 Waste Disposal
 Disposal Site Management
 Wastewater Treatment
 WASTE MANAGEMENT
• Growth in population have caused large quantities of generated solid waste or rubbish. If this is not
properly managed, quality of life and public health will be affected.

• Green Technology in various stages of waste management:

 WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT

 Wastewater is a liquid waste that consists of human waste, food waste, oil
and chemicals. It can be divided into domestic wastewater, stormwater runoff
and industrial wastewater.

 Industrial wastewater may contain acrylonitrile, methylbenzene, toluene and

heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury and lead.

 These hazardous chemicals are difficult to decompose biologically and

require more systematic treatments so that they will not pollute the
environment nor affect the human health.
• Landfill Leachate Treatment Method uses electrolysis principle, which is also known as
electrocoagulation process. It is a Green Technology approach used to treat wastewater,
including industrial wastewater.

• Carbon or copper electrodes are used while wastewater is the electrolyte in the
electrocoagulation process. Pollutants will form flocs and can be isolated from water and
then removed as sludge.

• After treatment, sludge can be used as fertilisers for the agricultural sector or disposed of
by appropriate methods.

• Wastewater that has been treated can be reused for crop irrigation or discharged as
effluent.
