Abstract: The construction industry generates wealth and advances a nation's social and economic growth. Improper waste management associated with construction activities in Malaysia substantially contributes to environmental deterioration. This paper provides a comprehensive literature analysis on construction waste management in Malaysia, focusing on implementing an extended producer responsibility policy (EPR) within the Malaysian construction industry. The research suggests that the Malaysian government's current construction waste management strategies are inadequate in addressing the growing volume of construction waste, exceptionally inert landfill capacity. Moreover, the adopted efforts appear inefficient primarily because of insufficient enforcement and implementation. Therefore, addressing the deficiencies through enhanced activities and advancements in current practices is essential to manage construction waste efficiently.
