Over the past years, Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country, has confronted environmental problems due to uncontrolled generation of municipal solid waste (MSW). While the integrated solid waste management (ISWM) represents a critical strategy for Indonesia to control its production, it is also recognized that economic approaches also need to be promoted to address the waste problem concertedly. In this case study, empirical approaches are developed to understand how a volume-based waste fee could be incorporated into MSW collection services and how to apply a zero-waste approach in Indonesia by adapting resource recovery initiatives, adapted from Germany’s mature experiences in integrating the CE paradigm into the latter’s MSWM practices. Currently, Sukunan village (Yogyakarta, Indonesia) promotes waste reduction at sources in the framework of community-based solid waste management (CBSWM) by mobilizing the local community for waste separation (organic and non-organic) and waste recycling. As a result, about 0.2 million Mt of CO 2-eq emissions was avoided annually from local landfills. The economic benefits of recycling activities by the village’s community also resulted in 30% reduction of the waste generated. This CBSWM scheme not only saves the government budget on waste collection, transport and disposal, but also extends the lifetime of local landfills as the final disposal sites. By integrating the CE paradigm into its MSWM practices through the implementation of economic instruments and adherence to the rule of law in the same way as Germany does, Indonesia could make positive changes to its environmental policy and regulation of MSW. A sound MSWM in Indonesia could play important roles in promoting the effectiveness of urban development with resource recovery approaches to facilitate its transition towards a CE nationwide in the long-term.

“…Although some attempts have been made to address this issue, past researchers use "environmental integrity" to show that their investigation will result in the integrity of the outcome. For example, a study by Bui, Tsai, Tseng, Wu, and Chiu (2020) investigate effective municipal solid waste management to ensure environmental integrity. Similarly, a study by Ding, Lei, and Zhao (2019) shows that environmental and investment policies will have a positive impact on environmental integrity, which in returns will increase economic efficiency.…”

The environmental issue is becoming an important sustainable development goal due to its devastating impact on the economy, society, and ecosystem. The need for managing environmental issues is leading a government to work closely with stakeholders such as environmental NGOs and local municipal councils. While collaboration between government and local municipal councils has been widely covered in the literature, the relationship between environmental NGOs and the government remains a complex issue. In the past, environmental NGOs have a responsibility to advise the government and create awareness to the public. However, the trend has soon changed, where environmental NGOs are becoming more active and influential in enacting policies to uphold environmental integrity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role played by Malaysian environmental NGOs and the current states of environmental integrity in Malaysia. This study used a qualitative case study of illegal plastic recycling factories in Malaysia to achieve research objectives. The findings show that environmental NGOs in Malaysia are a mediator between the government and the public. However, environmental NGOs are now more active in influencing the public to pressure the government to uphold environmental integrity. In addition, Malaysia's environmental integrity has increased with several policies by the government for firms, and consumers are already in place and gearing towards zero plastics. An improvement from the government side should focus on an integrated waste management system to enables circular economy adoption among firms. This study novelty lies in the introduction of environmental NGOs as a mediator to foster Malaysian environmental integrity and integrated waste management

“…The laboratory management has both management and service functions. The laboratory technicians should consider how to improve the management and service quality of the computer laboratory [4] . As technicians of the laboratory, we should improve the consciousness of service, transforming passivity into initiative, and actively enter the laboratory to pay attention to the problems encountered by teachers and students in class, to learn about the needs of teachers and students,so that they can be solved in a timely manner.…”

Since the eighties of the last century, the international higher education community has gradually formed a trend of attaching importance to practical teaching and strengthening the cultivation of application-oriented talents. With the construction demand of application-oriented talents, the requirements for laboratory work in universities to be raised, the traditional laboratory construction environment equipment and the management mode can no longer satisfy the needs of modern education; there exist a lot of problems, such as old environment, aged equipment, backward management system and mode, weak service awareness etc., it needs to break the old management mode, adopting informatization management, normalizing management system, raising service awareness, strengthening the laboratory publicity, so that the overall level of computer laboratory construction and management would be improved.
