“…Peningkatan pengetahuan tentang 3R sampah merupakan faktor penting dalam menerapkan pengelolaan sampah yang lebih baik. Dengan menumbuhkan kesadaran tentang dampak sampah terhadap lingkungan, mengetahui pentingnya pemilahan ketika pertama kali sampah muncul dan keuntungan dari daur ulang sampah (Ishak et al, 2015) diharapkan timbulan sampah di UPNVY dapat berkurang dan penanganan sampah yang terlanjur timbul dapat mudah dilakukan. Tentu saja transfer pengetahuan ini tidak hanya dilakukan satu atau dua kali tetapi terus menerus hingga kebiasaan mengurangi dan memilah sampah menjadi bagian dari kehidupan sivitas akademika UPNVY.…”

“…Data timbulan dan komposisi sampah sangat diperlukan untuk memperkirakan jumlah sampah yang harus dikelola, sebagai acuan untuk merancang fasilitas pengelolaan sampah, dan dapat menjadi indikator pola timbulan sampah. Pengelolaan sampah yang tepat akan memberikan keuntungan kepada institusi seperti penghematan anggaran (Ishak et al, 2015). Berdasarkan permasalahan yang telah diuraikan tersebut maka tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui timbulan, komposisi dan karakteristik sampah serta memberikan rekomendasi strategi pengelolaan sampah yang berkelanjutan di kampus UPNVY.…”

UPN “Veteran” Yogyakarta does not apply a sustainable solid waste management system. Waste is only carried out by storing, collecting, and transporting to TPA Piyungan. The purpose of this study was to determine the generation, composition and characteristics of waste and to provide recommendations for sustainable waste management strategies on the UPNVY campus. The method of measuring waste generation and composition refers to SNI 19-3964-1994. Waste characteristics were analyzed by proximate test and ultimate test. The results of the survey and measurements showed that the waste generation at UPNVY was 135.45 kg/day covering Campus I Condong catur at 96.66 kg/day and Campus II Babarsari at 37.79 kg/day. The composition of waste consists of organic waste (24.840%), paper (23.499%), soft plastic (7.450%), hard plastic (5.673%), plastic bag (9.129%), metal (1.294%), glass (1.392%), hazardous waste (0.512%), other waste (9.289%), and residue (16.922%). The proximate test showed that the highest moisture content was in food waste, the highest volatile content and calorific value were found in hard plastic. Meanwhile, the lowest ash content in soft plastic and the lowest fixed Carbon content was owned by plastic bag. For the ultimate test, plastic waste has the highest C and H content. The recommended sustainable waste management strategies are waste reduction and sortation; provision of sorted trash cans, processing of organic waste into compost; and construction of 3R TPS.

“…To encourage environmental sustainability, research has used waste characterization to proffer recommendations on the best waste treatment and management options to explore [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The determination of various waste streams through waste audits helps to identify recoverable materials and even reduce the amount of biodegradable waste going to landfills, thereby mitigating potential risks posed by landfill sites.…”

“…However, as HEIs experience similar challenges in relation to effective waste management (e.g., inefficient recycling programs) as municipalities, and play a key role in achieving a sustainable society, they can be considered analogues to towns and cities. Given their population size and complexity of activities undertaken, these institutions contribute to high solid waste generation, much like municipalities [13,[19][20][21].…”

To create a truly circular economy requires a shift from the traditional view of waste disposal to one of resource management. This is particularly important in developing countries, where municipal waste generation is increasing, and efficient recovery of economic value from waste is rarely achieved. Conducted in the University of Lagos (UoL), Nigeria, this study investigated the efficiency of a recycling scheme with the goal of making recommendations to improve the process. UoL’s recycling policy centers around source segregation of waste into color-coded bins. Waste audit was carried out using the output method and interviews were conducted with staff from the waste management team to understand practices on campus. Substantial contamination of colored bins with non-target material was observed. Organics (30%), mixed plastics (28%) and paper (24%) were the most abundant materials, hence have the greatest potential for recovery, and income generation, if segregation rates could be improved. Despite its recycling policy and infrastructure, 99% of UoL waste was going to landfill. Poor policy implementation results in low recovery rates. Targeted waste reduction and increased material recovery would enhance efficiency. Improved awareness of recycling benefits, in addition to policy enforcement, could serve as tools to increase stakeholder participation in recycling.
