Abstract

The article delves into the urgent need for sustainable waste management in Indonesia due to rapid urbanization and the associated environmental and social challenges. It highlights the importance of the Jakstranas policy, which aims to reduce and manage municipal solid waste by 2025. The study evaluates five different waste management scenarios, each with varying allocations for recycling, composting, incineration, and landfill gas recovery. The environmental impacts and electricity generation potential of these scenarios are analyzed using life-cycle assessment and energy evaluation models. The findings reveal significant environmental benefits from implementing these scenarios compared to the business-as-usual approach. Notably, scenario A, which includes equal allocations for recycling and composting and equal allocations for incineration and landfill gas, provides the most environmental benefits. The study also identifies the regional disparities in environmental impacts and electricity generation potential, with Java contributing the most and Moluccas and Papua the least. The article concludes by recommending policy measures to enhance waste management systems and promote sustainable waste-to-energy practices in Indonesia.
