Compliance with Scheduled Waste Management in Malaysia
In Malaysia’s industrial sector, managing hazardous by-products isn’t just good practice — it’s a legal requirement. Companies that produce metal-bearing sludge, chemical residues, or other toxic waste must comply with strict environmental laws. Choosing an experienced partner in scheduled waste management in Malaysia ensures that these responsibilities are fulfilled safely and efficiently.
Hydrometal Sdn. Bhd. offers licensed scheduled waste solutions backed by Department of Environment (DOE) compliance, helping manufacturers minimise risk and environmental impact.

What Is Scheduled Waste?
Scheduled waste refers to hazardous waste materials defined under Malaysia’s Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations 2005. These materials require special handling, treatment, and disposal to prevent environmental harm.
Examples include:
- Electroplating sludge
- Waste solvents or acids
- Used chemical containers
- Spent filters or resin
- Contaminated rags or gloves
