AbstractWaste becomes one of the crucial problems, even including cultural problems, because the impact will disrupt all aspects of life. Most landfills are operated using an open dumping system even though the landfill is designed with a sanitary landfill system. Therefore proper handling is needed to reduce the risks associated with waste problems. One of the waste handlings that can be done is with a sustainable waste management system, which is the concept of zero waste. This is in line with the efforts of the SDGs' target to state that the country as a whole can reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a technical approach to the analysis of literature studies in examining zero waste-based waste management systems through several case studies, namely the City of Canberra, South Korea, Sweden, Brazil, Japan, and Germany. The results showed that implementing the waste management system with the concept of zero waste required the collaboration of all parties not only stakeholders, and indirectly the cultural characteristics of the community played an important role to realize the concept of zero waste because of the need for high public awareness. And essentially all parties, both the government and the community want to reduce the amount of waste from both sources and landfills and improve the recycling system to create an ideal city. Keywords: Municipal Waste, Waste Management, Zero Waste AbstrakSampah menjadi salah satu permasalahan yang krusial bahkan termasuk masalah kultural karena dampak yang ditimbulkan akan mengganggu semua aspek kehidupan. Sebagian besar tempat pembuangan sampah dioperasikan dengan menggunakan sistem open dumping walaupun TPA tersebut didesain dengan sistem sanitary landfill. Oleh sebab itu diperlukan penanganan yang tepat untuk mengurangi resiko terkait masalah sampah. Salah satu penanganan sampah yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan sistem pengolahan sampah berkelanjutan yaitu konsep zero waste. Hal ini sejalan dengan upaya target SDGs menyatakan bahwa negara secara menyeluruh mampu mengurangi timbulan sampah melalui pencegahan, pengurangan, daur ulang, dan pemakaian kembali. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan teknis analisis studi literatur dalam mengkaji sistem pengelolaan sampah berbasis zero waste melalui beberapa studi kasus yaitu Kota Canberra, Korea Selatan, Swedia, Brasil, Jepang, dan Jerman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa untuk menerapkan sistem pegelolaan sampah dengan konsep zero waste diperlukan kerjasama semua pihak tidak hanya pemangku kepentingan, dan secara tidak langsung komitmen masyarakat berperan penting untuk mewujudkan konsep zero waste karena perlunya kesadaran masyarakat yang tinggi. Dan pada hakekatnya semua pihak baik pemerintah dan masyarakat menginginkan untuk mengurangi jumlah sampah baik dari sumber maupun TPA dan meningkatkan sistem daur ulang untuk mewujudkan kota yang ideal.Kata Kunci : Sampah Kota, Pengelolaan Sampah, Zero Waste

In the present scenario, sensors place a major role for implementing smart devices. Internet of Things (IoT) is an advancement of sensors which can communicate with non-communicate things (devices). Many of the developed counties are using smartness in creating and communicating devices using IoT. In India, major challenges focus on how and where to implement smartness. Hence, authors found some different areas like healthcare, education, transport, water, energy, communication, security & safety, citizen services, and so on. All these areas are covered by a smart way using recent technology (IoT) in smart cities concepts. Various technologies like IoT, Big Data, and cloud computing are used for constructing smartness in the form of devices. In this Chapter, authors focus on a smart waste management system using IoT. They provide various smart bin construction technology, advantages, standards and challenges in detail. It is very useful to the reader to understand the various method of waste management in smart cities development using IoT.

Due to enhanced healthcare needs brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic, the amount of biomedical waste generated has also increased manifold across the globe. With the world in global crisis due to the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has put great pressure on the biomedical waste management system in India and around the world. To control the spread of the COVID-19 virus, proper disposal of the waste is essential to reduce any risk of secondary transmission. This paper investigates the situation of biomedical waste management in the city of Thane in Maharashtra due to the onset of COVID-19 and suggests some key recommendations to the policymakers to help handle biomedical waste from possible future pandemics. The study found that there was an 81% increase in the total biomedical waste (BMW) generation in 2020, when compared to 2019 and the yellow category waste from COVID-19 centres was the highest contributor to this waste. It was also found that though there was a slight increase in yellow category waste, the total biomedical waste from non- COVID healthcare facilities (HCFs) was comparable to that of the waste generated in HCFs during 2019, revealing that there was conscious reduction in the usage of single use PPEs at non- COVID HCFs. The city, despite owning a Central Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF), was dependent on another incinerator at the Hazardous Waste Management Treatment facility (HWTF) for treatment of the additional waste generated. Unforeseen situation like these, expose the vulnerability of our existing biomedical waste management system and reinforces the need for investing and improving them for strengthening preparedness in the future. The situation also demands periodic education on importance of source segregation and waste reduction through rational use, disinfection and disposal of PPEs.

An effective waste management system is, and has always been, essential infrastructure, particularly given the potential for waste to adversely impact the surrounding environment. In recent decades, however, there has been growing awareness of the scale, breadth and immediacy of those adverse impacts, and of the unsustainability of the enormous (and increasing) amount of waste society generates. Governments around the world have mobilised and there has been a widespread shift towards policies promoting circular economies, waste minimisation and maximised resource efficiency. Singapore is a case in point; despite having a traditionally high waste output and a waste management system dependent on waste incineration as the primary means of disposal, Singapore has committed to a zero waste future. This article presents a review of domestic waste management policy and law in Singapore. Several gaps in the legal framework are identified and considered against the broader context, leading to the conclusion that there is a material environmental vulnerability in the legal framework that should be redressed in order to entrench environmental protections and to align the law with Singapore's policy ambitions. Notwithstanding this deficiency, it is hard not to be optimistic about the future of domestic waste management in Singapore, as the government has made an ambitious policy commitment and appears to be pursuing it with vigour.

Generation of solid waste (SW) is a major problem in urban areas, thus its management is one of the important obligatory functions to not only urban local authority but also for the inhabitants. The citizens expressed their concerns about the waste management system in KCC and associated problems that they are encountering. Waste generation in Khulna City Corporation is around 455 tons of municipal solid waste/day and generation rate is now 0.75 Kg/capita/day on an average. Existing public utility services and facilities are not adequate to meet the demand of disposing these massive amounts of wastes and that’s why several problems are arising. There are some deterrents in the KCC’s solid waste Management system, arising from both the city corporation authority and the citizen of different levels. With a view to address the problem from through community participation, this paper intends to evaluate the potential of community based solid waste management approach in context of Khulna city.

Waste Management is one of the hectic and troublesome tasks which require much man power. The traditional waste management system is time consuming and not cost effective. In this scenario, we are designing an intelligent system for solid waste management using Internet of Things. Our proposed system consists of an intelligent smart bin and a mobile application. The smart bin consists of a unique identifier (RFID tag) and an ultra-sonic sensor to determine the waste level of the bin. The mobile application is intended for two user categories: Normal user and Garbage collector. The normal user can locate the nearby dustbins whereas the garbage collector can remotely assess the bin level. When the bin is full, an alert message is sent to the garbage collector and also displays the shortest route to the bin location. It uses genetic algorithm for finding the optimized path from the user to smart bin. The entire connected components and communication is managed by a central coordinator. Our implementation and evaluation results claims that this model can be used as an alternative for the traditional waste management system. This system also ensures cost effectiveness and less time consumption.
