Sarawak targets ninety percent e-waste recovery by 2040 under Premier Abang Johari's bold circular economy vision, transforming waste into wealth and unlocking lucrative investment frontiers in advanced recycling, waste-to-energy infrastructure, and high-value bio-based manufacturing across the region.

Sarawak pepper, the “Black Gold of Borneo,” thrives on premium quality, not volume. Through technologies like AgriSmartEye, blockchain halal traceability, and IoT farming, it targets pharmaceutical and cosmetic markets, ensuring sustainability and global competitiveness.

Sustainable management of marine resources in Sarawak emphasizes the effectiveness of the Blue Economy policy, marine biodiversity conservation, and the Reef Ball project as key strategies. Statistics from the Department of Fisheries show a decline in marine fish landings from 157,249 metric tonnes (2014) to 96,103 metric tonnes (2024), raising concerns about the effectiveness of existing policies. The Reef Ball project, involving more than 21,800 artificial reef units deployed along 746 km of coastline, has received international recognition and increased fish stocks by 20–30% within 3–5 years after installation. However, enforcement issues, coastal community awareness, and infrastructure shortages remain major challenges.
