Abstract

Management of municipal solid waste in Malaysia has proved to be efficient effective and adequate. This study has used existing literature and empirical evidences for analyzing the various issues related to carbon emission trading and solid waste management. A measurement of carbon potential value will be conduct after the municipal solid waste generation data was collected completely and review the advantage of carbon emission trading from the municipal solid waste management in Malaysia evaluate the benefit of carbon emission trading as an alternative investment tools and basic framework required to implement them. The article suggests that how an appropriate carbon emission trading system may give more benefit and economical value and sustainable way of developing the future income generation in environmental sector in Malaysia. In other hand the changing legislative environment is likely to make current practices highly non-optimal and increase pressures for a change of waste management strategy. The article will become more valuable to all those who have some interests in environmental economic and alternative investment sectors and would like to reduce the global warming and climate change effect and develop the potential value related to carbon emission trading in developing countries.
