“…The 3Rs idea has been identified as the most effective strategy among several that Malaysia has performed to decrease the waste volume in the construction industry. Reuse, recycle and reduce are the three key construction-related variables that have been considered in this approach [22]. Table 3 describes how each variable is implemented at the construction site in reducing the waste produced throughout the construction process.…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of the construction industry on the environment in Malaysia and propose strategies for mitigating its adverse effects through the adoption of sustainable building techniques. The study recognizes the importance of a healthy ecosystem in promoting health conditions, improving living standards, and ensuring a sustainable future for the nation. However, the recent population expansion has placed increased pressure on Malaysia's building industry and infrastructure, resulting in environmental degradation caused by the construction sector. To address this issue, the study examines the overall framework of ecological management implemented in Malaysia's construction industry. It evaluates key aspects of construction management, including the formulation and implementation of environmental policies, the involvement of stakeholders in decision-making processes, and the effective management of construction waste. Additionally, the study conducts a comprehensive assessment of specific regulations and guidelines pertaining to construction waste, water contamination, and air pollution, all of which are prevalent issues in Malaysia's construction activities. Furthermore, the study highlights the benefits of using green materials in construction to minimize environmental impact and enhance overall quality of life. It explores the implementation of green technologies in Malaysia, considering their advantages and disadvantages within the local context. By doing so, the study aims to provide insights into the challenges faced in the widespread adoption of green technologies, taking into account the perspectives of the government, economy, society, and available resources. Ultimately, the study emphasizes the need for collaboration among all stakeholders to address environmental damage effectively. It stresses the importance of an inclusive approach, ensuring that no one is left behind in the efforts to rectify the situation and prevent further deterioration of the environment. By taking proactive measures and implementing sustainable building techniques, it is hoped that the construction industry in Malaysia can contribute to a greener and more sustainable future for the nation.

“…Research conducted in China revealed that the principles of the 3Rs is a good way to protect the environment and stimulate the economy of a country. Aadal, et al [11], proposed the concept of 3R for the management of construction waste at the construction site. This study suggested that the construction industry needed a waste management to gain its benefits, especially for environmental and social problems.…”

Like most cities in the world, population in Indonesia continues to grow every year. Problems that can arise from this are the increasing amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) production and the growing demand for electricity. To deal with the problems, Indonesian government runs 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) and WTE (Waste to Energy) Programs simultaneously. 3R program aims to reduce the number of waste, while WTE program aims to generate electricity as an alternative energy source. This study aims to find out the optimal proportion of MSW treated through the 3R and WTE programs. For the purpose, a goal programming model has been developed and solved using LINGO 11. The results showed that the optimal proportion of MSW through the 3R program is 49.90%, 12.37% through WTE program. This leaves 37.73% of waste untreated. The electricity generated from WTE program reached 1,229.695 GWh, total emissions that can be saved is 1,809,208.2 tons CO2 equivalent and total land-use for the programs is 4,036,239.1 m 2 . This study was enriched by performing some scenarios, i.e. adding budget allocation of WTE program, tightening the limit of total emission from waste management and reducing the limit of land-use for waste treatment. AbstractOptimasi Program 3R dan WTE untuk Sampah Perkotaan di Indonesia. Seperti umumnya kota-kota di dunia, penduduk kota-kota besar di Indonesia terus bertambah tiap tahun. Keadaan ini memunculkan dua permasalahan yaitu bertambahnya jumlah sampah kota (MSW) dan bertambahnya permintaan akan listrik. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, pemerintah memunculkan program 3R (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) dan program WTE (Waste to Energy) secara bersamaan. Program 3R bertujuan mengurangi jumlah sampah yang dibuang sedangkan program WTE bertujuan memanfaatkan sampah sebagai alternative untuk menghasilkan listrik. Penelitian ini untuk menjawab berapa porsi sampah yang optimal untuk digunakan untuk membangkit listrik dan berapa untuk 3R. Untuk tujuan tersebut telah dibuat model goal programming dan dipecahkan dengan menggunakan software optimasi Lingo release 11. Hasil running dari model yang dibangun menunjukkan bahwa porsi MSW yang dapat dikelola lewat 3R adalah 49,90%, lewat WTE 12,37%. Sisanya 37,73% sampah tidak terkelola. Listrik yang dihasilkan dari program WTE ini mencapai 1.229,695 GWh. Emisi yang dapat dikurangi sebesar 1.809.208,2 tons CO2 equivalen dan total lahan yang digunakan adalah 4.036.239,1 m 2 . Dalam penelitian ini juga dilakukan beberapa skenario yaitu penambahan alokasi dana pada program WTE, pengetatan emisi dan berkurangnya luas lahan yang dapat digunakan.
