The chemical manufacturing sector in Malaysia is among the industries that actively pursue sustainable practices.Waste management aids personnel in upholding the principles of sustainability within a company, while simultaneously fulfilling industrial requirements.This study investigates the impact of waste management practises on business sustainability performance, with organisation age serving as a moderating factor.In the country of Malaysia, a total of 366 chemical manufacturing enterprises were identified for the purpose of this study.The researchers employed a stratified random sampling technique to choose a representative sample from this population.A Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis was conducted on a sample of 130 questionnaires that were completed.The data indicate that there is no relationship between the age of an organisation and there is an improvement of business sustainability through waste management.In order to ensure sustainability, chemical manufacturers must incorporate effective waste management practices.Incorporation into organisational strategies is crucial.This study was anticipated to provide assistance to chemical manufacturers in selecting environmentally conscious practices that align with their business sustainability performance objectives.
