Abstract

Effective waste management is a major challenge in the modern era, especially with the increasing volume of waste produced by society. Transforming waste into energy offers an innovative solution that not only reduces environmental impact but also opens up economic and social opportunities. Through technologies such as biogas, incineration, pyrolysis, and gasification, waste can be converted into sustainable renewable energy sources. This socialization aims to increase public and stakeholder awareness of the importance of innovative waste management and its benefits for the environment and future economy.By understanding the technology, opportunities, and challenges that exist, it is hoped that the community and government can play an active role in supporting the mission towards more environmentally friendly waste management and reducing carbon emissions.

Abstract

Penang’s mounting plastic pollution and limited landfill space coincide with precarious livelihoods for Indonesian migrant workers. This community-empowerment initiative trains migrants to convert plastic waste into income-generating micro-enterprises. Participants master the full chain—from organising door-to-door collection routes and safe household sorting to operating low-cost shredding units and baling plastics for bulk sales to recycling plants. Cooperative governance and basic cost tracking ensure transparent profit sharing and long-term viability. Early results show substantial diversion of recyclable plastics from landfills, measurable cuts in projected greenhouse-gas emissions, and higher monthly earnings for more than fifty migrant households. Shared ownership of collection and shredding operations also strengthens social cohesion and community resilience. The scalable model demonstrates how linking practical waste handling to locally rooted business activities can advance circular-economy goals, improve migrant livelihoods, and foster sustained environmental stewardship in Penang and comparable underserved settings.
