“…The operational performance of Bantargebang WtE Plant highlights the consequential impact of higher moisture levels on the efficiency of waste incineration, leading to a noticeable deceleration in the incineration process. Reflecting on the operational insights gleaned from the Bantargebang WtE Plant, it is sensible for upcoming WtE initiatives to incorporate technological advancements dedicated to moisture reduction in waste, such as biodrying techniques known for effectively mitigating moisture content [7]. The integration of innovative technologies holds promise for enhancing the overall efficiency of waste incineration processes in future WtE plants, aligning with the need for sustainable and optimal WtE plant operation.…”

Municipal waste management in Indonesia, particularly Jakarta, poses a significant environmental challenge. Jakarta has been relying on the Bantargebang landfill to address its waste disposal needs for many years. Due to the persistent accumulation of waste, the Bantargebang landfill nears its maximum capacity. In response, a Waste-to-Energy (WtE) power plant was introduced in Bantargebang, serving as a pioneering initiative for WtE technology implementation in Indonesia. The Bantargebang WtE Plant employs incineration technology to convert municipal waste into electricity. Despite its usefulness, there are general environmental concerns about WtE plants, specifically focusing on their emissions and the potential presence of hazardous substances This research assesses the Bantargebang WtE Plant’s performance based on 2022 operational data, specifically examining waste reduction efforts and comparing incineration byproducts, including FABA (Fly Ash, Bottom Ash), and flue gas emissions, against government standards. The study indicates the plant can reduce waste mass by 96.5%. Furthermore, the WtE plant’s byproducts align with government standards for flue gas emissions and FABA residue. These results emphasize the potential of large-scale WtE power plants to achieve sustainable waste management goals in Indonesia. Nonetheless, there are opportunities for maximising waste accumulation reduction performance and enhancing operational value of WtE plant.

“…Malaysia is a tropical nation with a landmass of 329,847 km2 that is located in Southeast Asia's center region. It is situated between the latitudes defined by the Equator and 7' north and the longitudes 100 and 120 east (Jalil et al, 2022). The South China Sea divides the nation's two regions, West Malaysia and East Malaysia.…”

Minimizing waste production is a top priority in waste management, as it has the least adverse impact on environmental sustainability by reducing materials entering solid waste or recycling streams. This study offers a comprehensive overview of Canada's waste management landscape, serving as a model for Malaysia. The analysis covers policies, waste diversion programs, reduction initiatives, disposal practices, and energy-from-waste projects. Many Canadian regions show promising possibilities in waste policy frameworks, suggesting the need for explicit waste disposal targets to enhance action on reduction and diversion. For construction, renovation, and demolition (CRD), individual producer responsibility is advocated over collective Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) due to industry distinctiveness. In Malaysia, dwindling disposal sites prompt the study, aiming to overcome challenges by assessing government recycling initiatives and addressing public indifference. While Malaysia faces disposal site shortages, the study recommends the adoption of successful Canadian waste management strategies. The article provides an insightful analysis of Municipal Waste Management (MWM) issues in Malaysia, offering a roadmap for both countries to navigate challenges and implement effective waste management practices.
