#training #solidwaste #landfill #feasibilitystudy Last Saturday, I have finished an online training "Feasibilty Study of Landfill Site Plan" held by Universitas Islam Indonesia and Butik Daur Ulang. It was divided into two sessions and could be accessed via YouTube https://lnkd.in/gcUGGwdU (Session 1) and https://lnkd.in/gadnt5gY (Session 2). Recently, five aspects of solid waste management in many regions in Indonesia are facing challenges. In terms of technical operations, the landfill itself is crucial to manage the residue which cannot be treated/recycled/upcycled by waste hubs/waste banks/recycling centers. Moreover, landfill should be managed properly to ensure its operations could be executed according to SOP and its design (controlled or sanitary landfill). If we move back to the landfill site plan, clearly that landfill area must be designed and built according to regulations, spatial planning and teritory of particular regions, social-economy and environmental impacts to the nearest communities, as well as the GHG and leachet management and post landfill closure plans. Gratefully, through this training I got a bunch of insights in recent issues regarding the end point of solid waste management, especially in Indonesia case studies. Last but not least, hopefully the latest policy of banning on the construction of new landfills in Indonesia by 2030 will not hinder the existing solid waste management system 😇

In 2023, recycled steel produced from Alang's ship recycling yards saved enough CO₂ emissions to equal turning off 2.9 billion LED bulbs for a year! By recycling steel from end-of-life ships, we are not only giving new life to valuable materials but also significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Producing steel from recycled materials uses less energy compared to making new steel from iron ore, leading to substantial CO₂ savings. #Alang #ShipRecycling #SteelRecycling #Sustainability #Decarbonization

Indonesia is looking at waste-to-RDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel) projects as a promising solution for managing their waste and generating renewable energy. Here's a breakdown of the prospects: 1. Positives: - Waste Reduction: Landfills in Indonesia are overflowing. RDF plants can significantly reduce waste volume by converting it into fuel. A study by Universitas Gadjah Mada showed a 67% reduction in waste after implementing an RDF plant [Application of Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) Plant in Piyungan Landfill Municipal Solid Waste Management]. - Energy Production: RDF is a fuel source with a calorific value similar to coal. It can be used in cement production (like the Sukabumi project by SCG) or power plants, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. - Government Backing: The Indonesian government is actively promoting RDF development. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) is collaborating with PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (Persero) to champion this technology [Promote Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) Development in Indonesia through EU-Funded S4I programme]. 2. Examples: * Jakarta recently launched a project to build a new RDF plant capable of processing 2,500 tons of waste daily [Jakarta Launches RDF Plant Project in Rorotan]. This follows a similar project at Bantargebang TPST that became operational in 2023. * PT Wijaya Karya is nearing completion of the largest RDF plant in Indonesia, with a capacity of 2,000 tons per day [Wijaya Karya to complete the largest RDF plant project in Indonesia soon]. 3. Challenges: - Upfront Costs: Building RDF plants requires significant investment. - Waste Segregation: For efficient RDF production, waste needs proper segregation beforehand. Indonesia currently faces challenges in waste management infrastructure. - Environmental Impact: While RDF reduces landfill waste, the burning process can generate emissions if not properly managed. Overall, waste-to-RDF projects hold promise for Indonesia's waste management and energy needs. However, careful planning and addressing the challenges are crucial for successful implementation. #wastetordf Wijaya Karya (WIKA) Groundbreaking Proyek Pengolahan Sampah Terbesar di Indonesia https://lnkd.in/gNJeRwQp

As Jakarta continues to modernize, we're still grappling with a significant issue: waste. 1/ The city generates a staggering 7,500 tons of trash daily, which is rapidly accumulating. 2/ Bantar Gebang, the largest landfill in Southeast Asia and one of the largest in Asia, is nearing capacity. This is primarily due to disorganized waste disposal and a lack of awareness about proper waste sorting at the household level. 3/ Last year, 30 landfills in Indonesia caught fire, and the issue was similar in each case. The accumulation of waste in landfills produces methane gas, a problem also experienced by Bantar Gebang, which has also caught fire in the past. 4/ One potential solution is to encourage people to sort their waste and earn money through a waste bank. However, this is not as straightforward as it might seem. Educating people about proper waste sorting and cleaning can be time-consuming. Moreover, awareness levels often remain low. During my recent presentation to hundreds of parishioners at the Santa Maria Immaculate Church in Kalideres, West Jakarta, I represented Waste Bank Samita. I urged people to be mindful of their waste and to adopt the three Rs: reduce, reuse, and recycle. I emphasized that waste management is not solely the responsibility of cleaning services but a collective effort. #waste #wastemanagement #Jakarta #Bantargebang #solution #climateissue #climatecrisis

🌍 World Environment Day is a crucial opportunity to drive impactful change and promote environmental resilience. By leveraging OpenStreetMap (OSM), we can enhance data quality for critical environmental features. OSM also accommodates volunteers to map waste management facilities such as wastebaskets, waste disposal sites, and recycling centers. Based on OSM data, there are 275 wastebaskets, with the highest number located in DKI Jakarta. Large waste disposal sites tagged as 'disposal' total 112, and there are 94 wastebaskets with recycling separation. Let's map waste management facilities to improve our data quality, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable environment. Learn how to map waste management facilities to OSM. Let's make a difference together! 🌿 #WorldEnvironmentDay #OSM #EnvironmentalResilience #DataQuality #WasteManagement #Sustainability

This case study (https://bit.ly/3wQdRlN) gives insight into the innovative approach taken by PT Kawasan Berikat Nusantara (Persero) (PT KBN) to tackle the environmental challenge of air pollution within industrial zones. Managing several export-oriented industrial zones, PT KBN has a significant role in promoting trade and investment while ensuring sustainable environmental practices. The key challenge faced by PT KBN has been the air pollution resulting from manufacturing, trading, and transportation activities in these zones. #environmental #impact #industrial #emission #airquality #monitoring #oizom

♻️ i-KITAR!♻️ Topic ( waste separation at source ) A little history lesson, In 2015, Malaysia took a pivotal step toward sustainable waste management by enforcing mandatory waste separation at source under the Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Act 2007 (Act 672). The regulation was rolled out in phases across key states and Federal Territories, including Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Pahang, Johor, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Perlis, and Kedah. Residents and businesses in these areas were required to separate their waste into four main categories: paper (including newspapers, books, cardboard, and other paper products), plastics (such as bottles, containers, and packaging), other recyclables (like glass, metal, aluminum cans, and reusable materials), and non-recyclables (which covered general waste that could not be recycled, such as food waste and contaminated items). The goal of this initiative was to raise Malaysia’s recycling rate, which had been historically low at around 10% before enforcement, and to decrease the amount of waste sent to landfills. It was also part of the nation’s broader environmental objective of achieving zero waste by 2020, though progress toward that goal is still ongoing.

I’ve embarked on my Final Year Project (FYP) by analyzing the variations in ozone pollution during daytime and nighttime across Bandaraya Melaka, Petaling Jaya, and Seberang Jaya. This analysis is based on the hourly dataset obtained from the Department of Environment (DOE) for the years 2020 to 2022. Surprisingly, my findings indicate that Petaling Jaya is the least polluted by ground-level ozone among the selected cities, challenging the stereotype that Selangor has the poorest air quality.

GHL Systems Berhad's Group Head of Legal, Compliance and Sustainability, Kok Wai C., was among a panel discussion following the inaugural screening of Eco-Business’ documentary “WASTED” on 22 July 2024 at Aurum Theatre, The Exchange TRX - held in partnership with CEO Action Network and PPB Group Berhad. With Malaysia’s landfills projected to completely fill-up by 2050, effective waste management remains one of the country’s most pressing issue. “I believe that the effectiveness in incentivising businesses and producers to practice responsible waste management is dependent on the specific sector. A sustainable solution is for the government to work closely with businesses to facilitate better management of e-waste,” said Kok Wai.
