• The introduction of National Green Technology Policy in 2009 has paved a way for a wider utilisation of Green Technology in various sectors in Malaysia. 
• Community awareness towards environmental pollution and climate change has:
  • Sped up the efforts in producing and utilising Green Technology while sustainably managing resources.
• Malaysia Green Technology and Climate Change Centre, which is also known as GreenTech Malaysia:
  • Is a government agency responsible for initiating various programmes and incentives to encourage the adoption of Green Technology in various economic sectors in Malaysia.
• The usage of Green Technology is not solely limited to the industrial sector but it is very broad across various aspects of life.
• In applications involving manufacturing of products or services, the use of technology with environmentally friendly approachesis adoptedstartingfromtheutilisation and management of resources to waste management.

Renewable energy such as;

• Solar
• Hydro
• Geothermal
• wWind

• Vehicles using alternative fuels.

• Use of environmentally friendly building materials and energy saving buildings.

• Recycling and Landfill Leachate Treatment Method.

• Use of compost and forest preservation.

• Use of energy efficient tools and technology.

• Rapid developments and growth in population have contributed to large quantities of generated solid waste or rubbish.
• If not properly managed, the quality of life and public health will be affected.
• Waste management does not only involve local authorities, but all communities also need to play a role in ensuring the effectiveness of waste management, especially solid wastes.
• Leachate is contaminated liquid produced from water leached from solid waste.

• Wastewater is a liquid waste that consists of human waste, food waste, oil and chemicals.
• Wastewater can be divided into;
  • Domestic wastewater
  • Stormwater runoff
  • Industrial wastewater.
• Compared to domestic wastewater and stormwater runoff, industrial wastewater may contain;
  • Acrylonitrile
  • Methylbenzene
  • Toluene
  • Heavy metals, such as arsenic, mercury and lead.
• These hazardous chemicals are difficult to decompose biologically and require more systematic treatments so that they will not pollute the environment nor affect human health.
• Landfill Leachate Treatment Method by using the electrolysis principle, which is also known as electrocoagulation process, is a Green Technology approach that can be used to treat wastewater, including industrial wastewater.
• Carbon or copper electrodes are used while wastewater is the electrolyte in the electrocoagulation process.
• Pollutants will form flocs and can be isolated from water and then removed as sludge.
• After proper treatment, sludge can be used as fertilisers for the agricultural sector or disposed of by appropriate methods depending on the composition of the materials contained in sludge.
• Wastewater that has been treated can be reused for crop irrigation, or discharged as effluent.
