There is a lack of awareness and knowledge among the Malaysian construction industry about waste management reduction. Numerous nations worldwide have understood and have incorporated the concept of the 3R (reduce, reuse, and recycle) in waste management, and it has worked out well. This study investigated construction waste issues and developed a model for sustainable reduction by applying 3R using a partial least squares structural equation modeling PLS-SEM in Malaysia. The research methodology adopted the quantitative and qualitative approaches by sending a survey questionnaire to the relevant stakeholders to obtain their views or perceptions and interviewing an expert in the related field about waste reduction in the Malaysian construction industry. Three hundred thirty questionnaires were collected within six months of submission. The significant factors are determined using mean ranking for the reduce, reuse and recycle elements. Based on the results, the exploratory power of the study model is considered sustainable with R2 values of 0.83%. At the same time, the results of relationships between improving factors, policy-related factors, construction waste generated, and sustainable construction waste reduction were significant. Also, the findings revealed that the top factors for waste generation on reducing, reusing, and recycling are lack of design and documentation, and lack of guidance for effective construction waste-collecting. The paper will explore different and dynamic practices, such as recycling, reuse of construction waste management cost reduction, enabling stakeholders and managers to estimate and quantify the actual size of CWM costs and benefits for sustainable development goals.

“…Now it is high time to talk about effectively using waste and disposal. Industrial waste is a substance that can't be practiced for further production after manufacturing [3]. It can also be stated as the byproduct of raw material to develop the desired design product, which would be either biodegradable or nonbiodegradable.…”

The study focused on utilizing industrial waste, which consists of various materials rendered unusable during manufacturing processes, for designing a bituminous mix for flexible pavement. The researchers collected the waste material and prepared a mixed composition of industrial waste. They evaluated the properties and quality of the mixed composition when combined with bitumen. Marshall mix samples were created using different bitumen contents and the mixed waste composition, with only 5% utilization of crumb rubber (CR) in the experimental work. The study found that the most optimal results were achieved with the addition of 3% low-density polyethylene (LDPE), 4% waste engine oil (WEO), and 5% CR with a bitumen content of 4.5%. The analysis revealed a maximum stability value of 727.5 kg and a flow value of 16.15. However, it was concluded that increasing the limit of LDPE, WEO, or CR could lead to brittleness and significant deformation in the mix.

“…Zero wastes also have an important role for environmental cleanliness and are carried out by Reduction, Reuse, and Recycling [9], [10]. Other opinions state that zero waste is a series of actions aimed at eliminating waste and challenging traditional Waste Management systems [11]- [14] Based on the results of observations that have been made to the community in Menceh Village, a lifestyle that still litters tend to cause more and more garbage piles not only in the yard but also on the side of the road. The damage is getting worse.…”

Zero waste is one of the programs from the government of West Nusa Tenggara Province in Indonesia, where this program aims to provide education about waste to the public so that the waste can be processed or recycled so that it can be useful. Therefore, for the sake of creating a zero waste culture in the community, it is necessary to have media that provide education to the public about this program. The purpose of this article is to discuss the process of developing an Android-based waste education application as a medium of information about zero waste. This study uses the ADDIE model to make this product with five steps, namely analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. The data collection technique used was a questionnaire with a Likert scale, and the subjects in this study were the 60 people in the Menceh village. The data analysis technique used is descriptive quantitative. Our findings show that this application (media) is declared very-feasible by material (content) experts with a score of 85% and media (design) experts (83%), and user usability is in the very-high category (83%). So it can be concluded that this application is feasible to use properly, so that users can obtain information about how to manage waste through a zero waste program.
