“…To describe and analyze the development stages of these cities, a recently developed approach, WMS-DSC, was used [14]. WMS-DSC is built on five development stages (Figure 1), with stage 1 representing a WMS without essential waste management components and stage 5 illustrating a working CE.…”

“…The WMS-DSC is relevant to all WMSs, whether urban or rural, and can be adapted to both Global South and Global North nations. It is designed for the evaluation of a WMS by practitioners and decision makers who are familiar with the WMS [14]. The development stages and their drivers and targets are detailed as follows: The WMS-DSC includes seven relevant waste management components, namely (1) Governance "G"; (2) Sector and market "SM"; (3) Collection and Transport "CT"; (4) Waste disposal "WD"; (5) Energy recovery "ER"; (6) Waste recycling "WR" and (7) Prevention and reuse "PR".…”

“…The concept's structure enables the examination of a single WMS component (for example, collection and transport only), but it must be recognized that this restricts the concept's ability to be considered as an entire system. However, due to the concept's recent development, it has only been tested in a few Moroccan cities, including Marrakech and three others (Tétouan, Settat, and El Jadida), as well as the Ivorian city of Abidjan, as part of a master's thesis for the Biotec2Future project [14]. In this study, only five components are taken into consideration by the authors because they primarily focus on the technical aspects of a WMS; the detailed components and subcomponents to be evaluated are shown in Table 1.…”

“…However, when it comes to an in-depth performance evaluation of a WMS, the Waste Management System-Development Stage Concept (WMS-DSC) provides an additional degree of detail and the explicit processes of each development stage. The approach can be used to evaluate a WMS for a variety of purposes, including determining the WMS's current state to identify potential measures for implementation, determining whether the necessary system requirements for a given measure are met, tracking a WMS's progress, and comparing WMSs from various cities [14].…”

One of the largest issues facing countries, particularly emerging nations with high population, production, and consumption growth, is an inadequate waste management system (WMS). This paper analyzes the development of the waste management systems of nine capital cities in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region by using a recently developed approach, the Waste Management System–Development Stage Concept. This concept comprises five development stages and various components, including Collection and Transport, Waste Disposal, Energy Recovery, Waste Recycling, and Waste Prevention and Reuse. The findings indicate that in terms of waste collection, waste disposal, and energy recovery, Singapore is at a higher development stage (Stage 5) and is more advanced than other ASEAN cities. For most of the components, Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Manila fall into stages 2 to 4, whereas the early development stages 1 to 3 are present in Bandar Seri Begawan, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, and Vientiane. The results will be used to determine the next steps in developing the WMSs, including the introduction of separate collection for recycling or the installation of a waste-to-energy plant. The environmental impact of each measure will be later assessed using the LCA approach, and the most effective measures shall be identified in future studies.

The operations that underpin efficient municipal solid waste management delivery require economic funds. These funds are needed for both capital and recurrent expenditures. Municipalities (local governments) often being the main entities responsible for waste management in cities across the globe, have implemented several funding methods. Yet not all attempts at raising funds for waste management operations have been successful due to the existence of barriers preventing their sustainability in the long term. As such, municipal authorities and decision‐makers are frequently confronted with the dilemma of understanding different methods of financing waste management operations and making the appropriate choices among the available options for maximum operational flexibility. Based on locations, convenience, requirements, technical possibilities, institutional arrangement, and regulatory framework, several waste management financing methods have been adopted and applied with varying degrees of outcomes. However, this information is fragmented and scattered both in the academic and grey literature. In this work, we first collate and categorize the operating procedures of various municipal solid waste management finance strategies in a typology. We base our actions on several policy frameworks and areas of focus for waste management finance that have been implemented in many nations. Second, we provide a classification system by combining several strands of information on reported combinations of waste finance strategies, possibilities, and restrictions in the context of urban waste management. Finally, we discuss other essential elements related to financial sustainability and the implications on the circular economy. Therefore, this article presents a comprehensive review of the pros and cons of various municipal solid waste management financing methods.

Achieving sustainable development (SD) requires a holistic approach that bridges multiple disciplines. Although the current literature recognizes the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in comprehensively addressing global challenges across fields such as economics, business, environmental science, and social justice, there is still a significant gap in understanding how specific contributions from each discipline can be effectively combined to strengthen the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this paper, we examine the interconnected nature of the SDGs and the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in achieving them. Addressing complex challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and environmental degradation requires contributions from diverse fields, including biology, ecology, toxicology, chemistry, physics, mechanics, environmental engineering, architecture, and urban planning. The purpose of this paper is twofold (i) to explore the interconnected nature of the SDGs and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve them, and (ii) to highlight how contributions from different disciplines can enhance our ability to address the complex challenges associated with SD. We emphasize the integration of sustainable principles and innovative approaches as essential to fostering collaboration. Our findings suggest that inclusive, interdisciplinary strategies are critical for SD and underscore the urgent need for collective action across sectors to achieve the SDGs, strengthen global resilience, and drive innovation in SD. Adopting interdisciplinary efforts creates pathways for innovative, inclusive, and sustainable impacts that support a healthier planet and a resilient future for all.
