Some members of the full recovery facilities in
charge of the pilot project came to Japan in a training program coordinated by
JICA. The purpose of the training program is to develop the e-waste dismantling
techniques. They visited some e-waste recycling factories and experienced how
to dismantle e-wastes from households. It is expected that this training will
contribute to open up a new perspective of the technology and the method of
processing e-wastes.

In the training programs, “Business Matching Seminar” was held on 12 September, 2012 in JICA HQ Office, Tokyo, inviting Japanese private companies, academics and mass media. JICA and the JICA expert team explained the basic statistics of Malaysian economy, rules and regulations for recycling and the findings of the pilot project so far. The participants and the two full recovery facilities got to know each other toward future mutual business opportunities.
