“…An efficient means of managing wastes is by recycling but the potential for recycling riverine litter is quite challenging. Recycling is an important part of municipal waste management and resource efficiency strategies, as well as industrial processes (Abd Rauf et al, 2021). Daily, Malaysians produce roughly 38,699 tonnes of solid garbage, or about 1.17 kilogrammes per person (Malaysia Versus Waste Features the Chemical Engineer, 2022).…”

Nowadays in Malaysia, riverine litter has become a major environmental problem. Knowledge of solid waste generation, composition and recyclability is necessary for accurate decision making in the management strategy of municipal solid waste. This study is conducted to assess riverine litter and its recycling potential along Sungai Kelantan at Kampung Pasir Era Kelantan. The objectives are to determine the generation and composition of riverine litter and to evaluate the recycling potential of the litter. The waste samples are collected over a 14-day period at three different zones within the study area. Through quantification method, composition, proportion and the average daily total weight of the litter were determined. Findings show that the total weight of waste collected for all zones throughout the 14 days operation was found to be 70.912 kg out of which the upper-bank generated 25.9 kg. The result also shows that plastic has the highest contribution to riverine litter with 68.20%. Additionally, estimated revenue from potentially recyclable litter generated in 14 days was RM33.96. This study provides the local authority and relevant agencies with baseline information for effective management of riverine litter based on recycling potentials.

Climate change is an alarming phenomenon, and no conquering mechanisms or global winning standards are available to reduce carbon footprints. Nevertheless, local governments still strive to formulate successful tactics to sustain their cities, including Low Carbon City (LCC) initiatives. However, it is widely accepted that institutional frameworks and urban governance may influence the effectiveness of LCC implementation. In this paper, we impart how the notion of urban governance affects LCC implementation. The study aims to examine the perennial topic of the urban governance approaches to LCC that have been adopted by local governments, using the Shah Alam local government as a case study. Benchmarking exercises were conducted through a detailed literature review of the existing LCC initiatives, together with a focus group discussion (FGD). The FGD session was framed through purposive sampling, with participants selected from the local government of Shah Alam, the city’s community, and the stakeholders involved in the LCC programs. The results demonstrated that urban governance is vital in implementing LCC through many approaches, like the institutional framework, practices, and delivery. Overall, the study findings suggest a crucial component in the Shah Alam local government's management of LCC implementation.
