“…This type of energy utilization can be done through biological processes or thermal processes. The characteristics of waste, the amount of generation and its composition mpact on the selection of management strategies [14] and on the availability of control technology [15]. So, it is necessary to analyze the composition and characteristics of the waste in advance determine the appropriate processing technology.…”

Waste-to-energy (WtE) power plants in waste management have been applied widespread because it is considered the best waste management solution compared to other waste management technologies. However, Jakarta has relied heavily on landfills regarding its waste management. Bantargebang landfill has been the only landfill owned by Jakarta and has been operating since 1989, so it has almost reached its capacity limit. Thus, to solve the problem, the Provincial Government of Jakarta has planned to build an Intermediate Treatment Facility (ITF) in a WtE power plant in Sunter. This article aims to find out the plans and the challenges of WtE in Sunter, Jakarta. This research was conducted with a literature study on waste to energy in several countries that have applied it to their waste management systems and literature related to the progress of waste to energy development in Indonesia especially ITF Sunter, and the challenges that must be done faced. Based on the literature study, building an ITF is one of the Jakarta Provincial Government’s responsibilities. However, the composition and characteristics of the waste tend to be lower than (WtE) standards, so the waste cannot be effectively processed. Therefore, the use of a pre-treatment facility should be considered.

“…In high-income countries and cities, packaging waste, such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal, dominates the amount of waste, while developing countries have a higher fraction of organic matter, ranging from 40-85% of total waste [14] [19]. The calorific value is a laboratory test parameter to describe the heat contained in a material.…”

“…decades. An integrated system guarantees that SSWM production and consumption is promoted via public policies that invest in the expansion of environmentally friendly industries and that improve society's awareness of such issues with the aim of creating a recycling economy (Nguyen et al, 2020;Yeh et al, 2020). As an outcome, in 2020, 97.42% of the waste in Taiwan was incinerated, and the resource recovery rate reached 55.5%; indeed, only 2.58% of the country's waste was landfilled (Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration, 2020).…”

“…Nevertheless, Taiwan's waste treatment infrastructure is continuously strained despite the efficient operation of its waste minimization and resource recovery programs (Sung et al, 2020). Nguyen et al (2020) noted that various economic and social challenges are unobservably linked to each other, causing multicollinearity problems related to Taiwan's SSWM. Yeh (2020) proposed that structural changes in the community behavior of an economic system and solid waste disposal routines influence SSWM execution.…”

This study contributes to identifying a valid and reliable set of barriers to sustainable solid waste management framework rooted in society 5.0 perspectives in Taiwan. In nature, the hierarchical structure is with the causal interrelationships under uncertainties. The perspective empowers the creation of a new biosphere based on technological progress, but in the sustainable solid waste management field, it is difficult to encounter and shape the systematized processes due to barriers and challenges. To address this shortcoming, this study evaluates the technical challenges faced in the field of sustainable solid waste management toward society 5.0. The valid attributes are usually described the qualitative information. The fuzzy Delphi method is applied to acquire the valid and reliable attributes. Fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory experiment is to visualize the causal interrelationships among the attributes. Choquet integral with respect to the nonadditive attributes over the valid set provides an overall perspective function. The results establish an understanding of sustainable solid waste management barriers in the perspectives under uncertainties. Community uncertainty, policy and regulation problems, city architecture, and technology interaction are the factors that influence sustainable performance. In practices, (1) diverse disciplines and sectors in local, national, and global communities, (2) a lack of mobility and reliability, (3) mass production and mass consumption, (4) an insufficient level of artificial intelligence application, and (5) failures related to data management and security hinder the improvement of sustainable solid waste management toward society 5.0.

“…Rapid urbanization has witnessed an increasing generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) in developing countries [1]. China, as a developing country with a large population, produces over 400 million tons of MSW annually, which gives rise to a remarkable issue as "besieged by waste" [2].…”

This study presents an evolutionary game to model interactions among stakeholders with potential conflicts, including the operational enterprise of incineration plant, the local government, and the residents nearby. System dynamics is used to simulate the change of strategic actions corresponding to the three players, in order to seek for the evolutionary stability strategies. A numerical case is proposed to demonstrate the game theory application, in which the impacts of governmental incentive and punishment on the player’s actions are investigated. The results indicated that administrative penalty is effective not only in motivating the enterprises to upgrade treatment facilities for ensuring environmental quality but also in helping the local government and residents to approach dominant strategies. Policy implications are given based on the results to lay out a foundation for the alleviation of the conflicts.
