“…Expanding biodigester facilities requires substantial capital on the infrastructure and investment front [10]. Herein lies the potential for innovative financing mechanisms such as public-private partnerships, grants, and collaborations with international environmental bodies [55,56]. The government's role is pivotal, with clear policies and regulations as catalysts for attracting private investment [57,58].…”

Mojokerto City, located in East Java, grapples with a steadily rising waste generation trend accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing data from the National Waste Management Information System (SIPSN) and supplemented with an exhaustive literature review, this study scrutinizes the potential of biodigester technology as a solution to this mounting challenge. Mojokerto's waste, consistent in its composition from 2019 to 2022, is dominated by food waste, making it an ideal candidate for biodigester intervention. The study revealed that existing biodigester facilities in Mojokerto vary in their waste reduction efficiencies yet collectively demonstrate the viability of converting food waste to energy. For instance, the TPS 3R Magersari Berseri facility showcased an impressive waste reduction rate of 85.0%, processing 62.05 tons out of 73 tons of waste received annually. Comparative analyses of other facilities like TPS 3R Pulorejo "Cahaya Berseri" and TPS 3R Muria Berseri were also conducted, revealing varying degrees of efficiency. These facilities underscore the potential of biodigester technology in managing the rising tide of waste and contributing to sustainable energy generation. The findings of this study also call for increased awareness about food conservation, improved waste segregation at the source, and the promotion of composting and other organic waste processing methods, thereby optimizing the overall efficiency of waste management in the city.

According to the World Bank report, Colombia generated 5.6% (13 million tons per year) of municipal solid waste in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2016. About 30% of this waste came from the three main cities of the country, Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali. Evaluation of the performance of municipal solid waste management systems is important for reducing environmental and public health impacts in cities. Wasteaware benchmark indicators have been used worldwide for monitoring those systems. The results of the adaptation of this methodology to the Context of a Latin American Country are presented in this research. The solid waste comprehensive management policy and regulatory framework in Colombia were considered. As a case study, the adaptation of Wasteaware was implemented using the data from the Cali solid waste management system for 2019. The results of the evaluation for Cali indicate that system presents a high overall performance (91%). Cali achieved the highest performance when compared to other Latin American cities. The implementation of this management instrument in Colombian cities will provide sufficient and relevant information regarding the municipal solid waste management systems. It is expected that this initiative will be replicated in other cities in Latin America.
