The climatic conditions of the Earth seem to be deteriorating every single moment and mankind is receiving the signals of an upcoming environmental catastrophe in the forms of Global Warming, Ozone holes and Environmental Pollution. The Segregation and Management of wastes are two vital issues in the 21st century globalized world. The waste generation rates are on a sharp rise throughout the world. In 2016, the quantity of solid wastes generated globally summed up to a figure of 6.3 billion metric tonnes. With a swift population growth and rapid urbanization, scientists are expecting a rise of about 70% in the production of wastes as compared to 2016 amounting to nearly 26 billion metric tonnes of in 2050. Plastics, MPW etc. constitute a major portion of these wastes having secured an irreplaceable role in human life today. This paper majorly gives an insight to the Recycling of the globally produced wastes (after their Segregation by an IoT/GLCM/PLC based Segregator) by utilizing them in Road/ Pavement Construction, RDF, Mortar Aggregates and Toilet Blocks (Plastones) in some innovative, cost-efficient and easy-to-implement novel methods viz. Cold Plasma Pyrolysis, CMP, Injection Molding etc. for the Management of wastes to frame a greener and sustainable future. Also, certain high potential techniques for the Reusage and Reduction of waste products have been incorporated for the Environmental amelioration. Contribution/Originality: The paper's primary contribution is finding some novel, scientifically appropriate and pertinent methodologies in the procedure of Waste Segregation and Management. It also proffers a unique, well-conceptualized schematic for the attainment of Circular Economy across nations. 1. INTRODUCTION Rapid increase in volume and types of solid and hazardous waste due to continuous economic growth, urbanization and industrialization, is becoming a burgeoning problem for national and local governments to ensure effective and sustainable management of wastes. The residents of developing countries, especially the urban poor, are more severely impacted by unsustainably managed waste, in comparison to those in the developed ones. In lowincome countries, over 90% of waste is often disposed in unregulated dumps or openly burned, the consequences being grave health, safety, and environmental problems. Poorly managed waste serves as a breeding ground for disease vectors, contributes to global climatic changes through methane generation, and can even promote urban violence. Managing wastes properly is essential for building sustainable and inhabitable cities, but it remains a challenge for many underdeveloped as well as developing countries and cities. Effective waste management is

Recycling programmes have been conducted by various stakeholders including Government sector and private sector to reduce waste generation from being disposed into the landfill. The objectives of this study was identifying the correlation... more

Pertumbuhan populasi yang cepat, perubahan gaya hidup, kepesatan urbanisasi bersama-sama dengan pembangunan ekonomi yang agresif dan perubahan kadar penggunaan telah meningkatkan jumlah penjanaan serta penghasilan sisa pepejal harian. Hal ini menyebabkan kecekapan pengurusan sisa pepejal perbandaran menjadi salah satu masalah alam sekitar yang genting di Malaysia. Oleh hal yang demikian, Kementerian Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan telah mengemukakan satu polisi pengasingan sisa pepejal di punca secara berperingkat pada tahun 2015 untuk mengurangkan jumlah sisa pepejal yang bakal dihantar ke tapak pelupusan. Tujuan kajian ini dijalankan adalah untuk meneroka keadaan semasa niat isi rumah dalam pengamalan pengasingan sisa pepejal di punca di Selangor; untuk menilai tahap sikap, norma subjektif, keprihatinan alam sekitar, pengetahuan alam sekitar dan niat pengamalan sisa pepejal di punca; untuk menyiasat perkaitan antara sikap, norma deskriptif dan norma injunktif dengan niat isi rumah dalam pengamalan pengasingan sisa pepejal di punca; serta memastikan kesan pertengahan keprihatinan alam sekitar dan kesan perantaraan pengetahuan alam sekitar dalam perkaitan antara sikap, norma deskriptif dan norma injunktif dengan niat isi rumah dalam pengamalan pengasingan sisa pepejal di punca. Seramai 400 orang penduduk yang tinggal di sembilan buah daerah di negeri Selangor, iaitu Sabak Bernam, Ulu Selangor, Kuala Selangor, Gombak, Ulu Langat, Petaling, Klang, Kuala Langat dan Sepang telah dipilih melalui kaedah persampelan rawak berlapis. Soal selidik dwibahasa yang ditadbir sendiri telah digunakan untuk mengumpul data kajian berbentuk kuantitatif. Pengukuran juga disesuaikan dan diterima pakai dari sumber berlainan untuk memeriksa pemboleh ubah utama dalam kajian ini. Data kuantitatif yang dikumpulkan telah dianalisis dengan menggunakan perisian IBM SPSS Statistics Versi 26.0 dan SmartPLS Versi 3.2.9. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan norma deskriptif [p = 0.038 (p ≤ 0.05), r = 0.104] dan norma injunktif [p = 0.000 (p ≤ 0.001), r = 0.317] mempunyai hubungan positif terhadap niat pengamalan pengasingan sisa pepejal di punca. Walau bagaimanapun, hasil kajian juga menunjukkan terdapat hubungan tidak signifikan antara sikap [p = 0.139 (p > 0.05), r = 0.074] terhadap niat pengamalan pengasingan sisa pepejal di punca. Oleh itu, pemboleh ubah itu telah dikecualikan daripada ujian pertengahan dan ujian perantaraan yang selanjutnya sepanjang kajian dijalankan. Dari segi ujian pertengahan, keprihatinan berbentuk egoistik [p = 0.001 (p ≤ 0.001), t = 3.182] dan keprihatinan berbentuk altruistik [p = 0.000 (p ≤ 0.001), t = 4.462] didapati menengah hubungan antara norma injuktif dengan niat pengamalan sisa pepejal di punca. Dari perspektif ujian perantaraan, hasil kajian menunjukkan pengetahuan alam sekitar tidak mengantara hubungan antara norma deskriptif [p = 0.511 (p > 0.05), t = 0.658] dan norma injunktif [p = 0.519 (p > 0.05), t = 0.645] dengan niat pengamalan sisa pepejal di punca. Hasil kajian ini memberi gambaran kepada rakyat Malaysia, badan kerajaan, badan bukan kerajaan dan badan sukarela untuk meningkatkan nilai tanggungjawab terhadap penjagaan kebersihan alam sekitar. Data kajian ini secara khususnya dapat memberi panduan kepada badan-badan kerajaan Malaysia, termasuklah Jabatan Pengurusan Sisa Pepejal Negara, Perbadanan Pengurusan Sisa Pepejal dan Pembersihan Awam, Kementerian Tenaga, Sains, Teknologi, Alam Sekitar dan Perubahan Iklim Malaysia dan Kementerian Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan Malaysia dalam perancangan dan pelaksanaan dasar-dasar mereka pada masa hadapan demi kesejahteraan setiap lapisan masyarakat Malaysia. Akhir sekali, selain menggunakan soal selidik dwibahasa ditadbir sendiri yang biasa, kajian masa hadapan dicadangkan mencipta kaedah instrumentasi berlainan bagi menilai perubahan gelagat responden untuk membentuk satu pemahaman tentang polisi pengasingan sisa pepejal yang menyeluruh dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia. Tambahan pula, kajian masa hadapan juga dicadangkan bagi meningkatkan liputan bagi kawasan lokasi kajian untuk mendapatkan data yang lebih dipercayai dan memberikan generalisasi yang lebih besar. Penghargaan Kajian ini dibiayai oleh Geran Mini daripada Persatuan Ekonomi Pengguna dan Keluarga Malaysia (MACFEA) pada tahun 2018/2019.
