This paper provides a novel framework for envisioning digital technology application in sustainable waste management. The approach inclines on a mini-conceptual framework, which is rooted in the bourgeoning of diverse software innovation, which offers numerous digitalization of waste management recess. It first concedes that digital age brings to fore some enabling technology that offer a lift to transform traditional waste management to an unprecedented quick and cleaner dimension. Although not exhaustive, it highlights some popular digital apparatuses available for individuals, organisations and the government to take advantage for reforming traditional waste management techniques. These include ultrasonic trash can sensor, solar-powered trash compactor, image-based trash can sensors, toogoodtogo, digital mapping and cloud-based life-cycle waste cost calculator. Accordingly, this mini-framework for digital application to waste management provides a stepping ground to enable further expansion of the framework for enhanced policy, practice and scholarship

Abstract. Green Sukuk-Based Project on Sustainable Waste Management in Indonesia. Most of the problems that occur in waste management are related to financing. This study proposes Green Sukuk to be used by the government as a diversification of funding for municipal waste management. This paper argues that Green Sukuk can potentially be an Islamic finance instrument for financing municipal substantial waste management project carried out by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. Further, there will be costs and benefits obtained by the government as the implications of this financing. Hence, this paper attempts to find the best alternative of Sukuk strategy to be implemented in the financing of municipal waste management using Analytic Network Process (ANP) with a network of Benefit, Opportunity, Cost, Risk (BOCR) analysis. Keywords: Sustainable waste management; Green Sukuk; ANP-BOCR Abstrak. Proyek Berbasis Sukuk Hijau untuk Pengelolaan Sampah Berkelanjutan di Indonesia. Sebagian besar masalah yang terjadi dalam pengelolaan limbah adalah pembiayaan. Oleh karena itu, untuk mengatasi masalah ini, pemerintah dapat menggunakan Sukuk hijau sebagai diversifikasi pendanaan untuk pengelolaan limbah kota. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Sukuk Hijau berpotensi menjadi instrumen keuangan Islam untuk membiayai proyek pengelolaan limbah padat kota yang dilakukan oleh Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan. Lebih lanjut, pemerintah memiliki potensi dan peluang untuk mengimplementasikan sistem pembiayaan ini; namun juga menghadapi potensi beban dan kerugian sebagai implikasi dari pembiayaan ini. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini berupaya menemukan strategi alternatif berupa produk Sukuk terbaik untuk diimplementasikan dalam pembiayaan pengelolaan limbah kota, dengan menggunakan Analytic Network Process (ANP) dan jaringan Analisis Manfaat, Peluang, Biaya, Risiko (BOCR). Kata kunci: Pengelolaan limbah berkelanjutan; Sukuk hijau; ANP-BOCR

The Impact

Waste disposal sites across Jordan pose serious risks to the environment and to public health if not managed safely. Municipal waste decomposing in open landfills also takes an environmental and socio-economic toll on neighbouring communities. While the Government of Jordan is planning to reduce the number of operational landfills and improve waste management services, persistent issues associated with unsustainable waste practices and their associated effects on the wellbeing of surrounding communities and the environment need to be addressed. Guaranteeing a sustainable waste management scheme for communities in Jordan should include increased consideration of the long-term effects that waste disposal sites have on neighbouring communities.

The analysis presented here will apply the integrated sustainable waste management (ISWM) model to Bali’s tourism industry to contemplate the viability of introducing to the island tech-based infrastructure, specifically solar-powered waste compactors, in low- to medium-density areas. The current system of waste management in Bali reveals a lack of cooperation among its stakeholders; hotels and luxury developers are using non-biodegradable materials at a massive scale—the proper disposal of which the local residents are unfamiliar with—and much of this waste ends up in illegal dumps. This system illustrates how inherently unsustainable the tourism industry is in general and especially in areas lacking consistent government supervision. This article will explore how a culture-shift perspective, organisation of cooperative entities, multi-stakeholder governance and integration of tech-based solutions can help alleviate current pressure on the waste system in Bali.

Waste Management Practices

The issue of sustainable waste management has become an important priority for policymakers and other relevant stakeholders of Malaysia as the country prepares to project itself as a developed nation. Despite several attempts by the government, such as enactment of new laws and pursuing privatisation, Malaysia is still lagging behind significantly in sustainable waste management practices, particularly in the area of recycling. Based on studies conducted in the Selangor state of Malaysia, this paper attempts to analyse the current waste management practices of Malaysia along with their problems and prospects, and examine the steps taken by the government and other stakeholders for attaining sustaining waste management practices. The paper will help the policy makers, waste management strategists, local administrators and researchers in the field to formulate sustainable policies and identify further areas of study in the relevant field.

The need for green business practices and green innovations underscores a growing recognition that climate change is now an existential threat not just to population health but also to the survival of businesses that are unable to embrace green practices with a sense of urgency. This paper contributes to the literature on market violence as an inhibitor of green innovations for sustainable waste management to curb the unneeded health effects of wastes in Africa. Our purpose is to problematize received wisdom, unquestioned assumptions, and incorrect diagnosis of the sources and health consequences of various forms of wastes in Africa. Much of the discourse on this issue remains ahistorical, and that risks leaving aside a vital question of exploitative extraction. By including this ‘out-of-the-box’ explanation through major case references, we are able to shed light on the critical issues that have hitherto received limited attention, thus enabling us to propose useful research questions for future enquiries. We propose a framework that delineates the structural composition of costs imposed by market violence that ranges from extraction to e-waste disposal. We advocate for the engineering of policies that create conditions for doing more with less resources, eliminating waste, and recycling as crucial steps in creating sustainable waste management innovations. Additionally, we highlight a set of fundamental issues regarding enablers and inhibitors of sustainable innovations and policies for waste management worth considering for future research. These include programmed obsolescence, irresponsible extraction, production, and consumption, all seen through the theoretical lens of market violence.
