Navigating Sustainability: Addressing Plastic Waste and Health Risks in Food Delivery Services in Malaysia
Abstract
While it is encouraging to see the food industry thriving, growing concerns exist about increased demand and reliance on plastic packaging. The convenience of plastic wraps for food and durable plastic containers for drinks, designed to prevent spillage, has led to a significant rise in plastic consumption. This chapter highlights the growing plastic waste associated with food delivery services and explores the potential health risks of plastic materials, including microplastics, in food delivery operations in Malaysia. By analysing existing policies and regulations on plastic use, this chapter highlights the need for enhanced sustainable practices in the food service industry. It aims to provide insights into balancing convenience with environmental responsibility and proposes strategies for mitigating the negative impacts of plastic consumption.
