Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has announced ambitious sustainability targets as part of its new LESTARI: Sustainability Framework and Roadmap 2030. By 2030, the commission aims to sustainably manage 15 million devices and extend technology's benefits to 5 million individuals. The roadmap encourages device refurbishment, reuse, and upgrading while promoting the use of energy-efficient technology or responsible recycling.
This initiative aims to reduce electronic waste and lower device ownership costs, ultimately benefiting 5 million Malaysians through social-impact programs. The LESTARI framework, developed through industry engagement with 116 participants, is structured around three key pillars: climate and environmental sustainability, social impact and inclusion, and technology and innovation.
An industry collaboration platform, Net Zero & Circularity Alliance (NZCA), has been launched, with 15 organizations pledging support for the LESTARI and NZCA initiatives.
