Abstract

In 2023, the amount of waste from five large cities in West Java could reach more than 1 million tons. This creates the need for proper waste management. There are several technologies used, i.e. zero waste management (Masaro) technology and also refuse-derived fuel (RDF) technology. Masaro employs various methods to process all types of waste while RDF technology utilizes combustible and plastic waste to produce solid fuel. This study intends to compare the waste processing performance of the two technologies from the potential, environmental impact, and economic aspects. Based on the results, raw materials, utilities, and target markets are all comparable. Besides, environmental impact analysis shows that waste processing with Masaro and RDF has low emissions and is below quality standards. Actually, RDF has a faster processing time than Masaro, but the economic analysis from Masaro shows a higher GPM than RDF (99.21% vs. 89.38%). This happens because the products from Masaro are much more differentiated than RDF. In the end, the integration of waste processing with Masaro and RDF is even more promising because apart from solving the waste problem it also produces a higher GPM (99.22%).
