PETALING JAYA: Japan severely underreported the export to Malaysia of more than 9,000 tonnes of plastic waste, including PVC, Basel Action Network (BAN) executive director Jim Puckett said. Puckett, whose organisation monitors plastic waste, highlighted that Malaysian authorities claimed to have only received 10 notifications for PVC waste imports from Japan last year.
