Material Flow Analysis for Assessing the Sustainability Solid Waste Management Strategy

Abstract

With increasing income levels and accelerating consumption, municipal solid waste management (MSW) has become important in developing countries. This study intends to use material flow analysis (MFA) to assess the waste management strategy in Bogor-Indonesia. Moreover, this study also determines the extent of the waste flow path and provides suggestions for improvement. Waste volume data is carried out directly for ten days, referring to Indonesian Standards (SNI 3242: 2008 and SNI 19-3964-1994) related to waste management in settlements in Indonesia. Furthermore, the waste generation data were analyzed by applying the MFA Method. Data processing using STAN (Substance Flow Analysis Version 3) software makes Material Flow Analysis (MFA) images. The data shows that the waste generated is 20 kg to 140 kg per day. The existing conditions indicate that the waste is burned or disposed of in municipal landfills. The proposed waste management strategy model reveals 30.66 tons/year of inorganic waste that can be recovered through recycling and about 20.13 tons/year. The strategy that can be done is to establish a waste bank that applies Maggot BSF cultivation to recycle the organic waste produced. Decision-makers need future studies of material flows to be able to plan for changes in waste flows.
