Abstract
Municipal waste management is still a significantproblem for solid waste issues in Indonesia. Only 60 to 70% ofthe waste generated is disposed of in landfills, the rest isdispersed in different areas. The potential for leachate pollution,greenhouse gases, and a waste of non-renewable naturalresources can occur due to municipal waste managementproblems not being optimal. Municipal waste managementneeds a holistic concept that would include upstream todownstream stages. This paper comprehensively reviewsmunicipal waste management with a zero waste concept basedon management, development, measuring, implementations,strategies, potentials, and challenges in Indonesia. The zerowaste concept offers waste management, starting with wasteelimination, recycling, reduction, and recovery of used goods.Several municipalities around the globe, such as Canberra,Adelaide (Australia), Stockholm (Sweden), Nova-Scotia(Canada), and San Francisco (United States), have decided ontargets for zero waste cities. Indonesia is still implementingwaste management that accentuates disposal in landfills, sothere needs to be a literature study related to the management,development, measuring, implementations, strategies,potentials, and challenges of Indonesia’s zero waste concept.
