Film screening of WASTED in Kuala Lumpur

Updated to reflect the outcomes of the 2024 UN negotiations on a global plastic treaty in Busan, WASTED offers a sobering yet inspiring look at Asia’s mounting waste problem. Through cinematic visuals and personal narratives, the film will explore the connections between waste, human health and the climate crisis—while also posing critical questions: Why are we wasting opportunities to solve this issue, and what can we do differently?

The screening will be followed by an expert-led dialogue featuring industry voices and community leaders, who will explore policy gaps, infrastructure challenges and immediate actions to strengthen Malaysia’s waste management systems.
