Abstract

Due to limitation of insufficient land resources, incineration or thermal treatment of waste is popular in nations such as Japan and Germany as the major technology for waste management scheme.The incineration technology is capable of dealing with the increasing demand for municipal and industrial solid waste treatment in urban neighborhoods.The evaluation of this municipal incineration in terms of secondary pollution potential, cost-effectiveness,and operational efficiency has become a new focus in the highly interdisciplinary area of production economics,systems analysis,and waste management.Exponential population growth and increasing number of tourists have brought forth a huge quantity of municipal solid waste (MSW) in Melaka.With average of 1200 ton municipal solid waste (MSW) per day contributed by the local communities and tourists had become a serious environmental issues recently.This study aims to generate experts’ opinion about the suitability to implement the new management technology such as incineration technology to overcome the current landfill disposal method.This study uses qualitative method of interviewing the three respondents whom are working in the Melaka Green Technology Corporation.PESTLE analysis approach is applied as an exploratory research.The research presents the innovative/alternative ways using incineration technology integration in solid waste management for tackling the limitation to insufficient land resources and management of solid waste in effectively and efficiently.The finding shows that Melaka is capable to implement the incineration technology in large scale.
