Abstract

Background: Creating trash bins that are comfortable to use and attractive, integrated, and capable of automatic waste separation is the answer to the waste problem that has become a major issue in Indonesia and even the world. The purpose of this study is to analyze and design smart and ergonomic trash bins. Methods: This study in Tanjung Redeb, Berau Regency, surveyed 184 trash bin users. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and literature review, validated with SPSS, and processed using the QFD method to design an integrated, user-friendly trash bin. Findings: The results obtained based on the interpretation of user requirement data show that users of trash bins want materials that are easy to clean with an improvement ratio of 1.25, have usage instructions with an improvement ratio of 1.0, are comfortable to use and practical with an improvement ratio of 1.0, have audio information with an improvement ratio of 1.0, use renewable and environmentally friendly energy with an improvement ratio of 1.25, flexible and lightweight with an improvement ratio of 1.0, discarded waste can be converted into points with an improvement ratio of 1.25, waste can be separated automatically with an improvement ratio of 1.0, integrated with waste management personnel (who know the volume of waste in real time with an improvement ratio of 1.0), and attractive trash bins ratio of 1.34. after collecting and reprocessing the data, the results show that smart trash bins are ergonomically designed, integrated with personnel and sorting systems to meet user satisfaction. Conclusion: Therefore, an ergonomic design for smart waste bins is needed based on the needs of waste bin users in Berau Regency. Unlike previous researchers who generally focused only on technological aspects and automatic selection. Novelty/Originality of this article: The originality of this research is also demonstrated through the development of a design that not only emphasizes technical functions but also aesthetic aspects, environmental sustainability, and increased community participation in sustainable waste management.

Abstract

Background: The construction sector significantly contributes to global CO₂ emissions, primarily from Portland cement production, accounting for about 8% of total emissions. This study explores the environmental, economic, and social potential of industrial waste-based geopolymers as a sustainable alternative to conventional concrete, supporting the Net Zero Emission 2050 target. Methods: This research adopts a qualitative literature review approach, collecting and analyzing recent studies concerning the utilization of fly ash, slag, silica fume, and waste glass as binding precursors in geopolymer synthesis. Furthermore, a comparative analysis was conducted to assess the potential for CO₂ emission reduction and cost efficiency based on several implemented projects. Findings: The findings indicate that geopolymer concrete can reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 18%–64% and production costs by up to 30%, while maintaining comparable mechanical performance and durability to Portland cement-based concrete. Large-scale applications in several countries have demonstrated the material’s practical feasibility. From an environmental perspective, geopolymer technology substantially decreases embodied carbon; economically, it lowers maintenance expenses; and socially, it promotes green employment opportunities and enhances public awareness of sustainable construction practices. Nevertheless, the lack of standardized regulations and limited policy support remain key barriers to its broader implementation. Conclusion: Geopolymer technology demonstrates significant potential in achieving sustainable and low-carbon construction, thereby contributing to the realization of the Net Zero Emission 2050 goal. Novelty/originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive integration of various industrial waste materials to holistically assess their environmental, economic, and social benefits as a unified approach toward sustainable construction.

Abstract

Background: The rapid expansion of global renewable energy capacity resulted in a significant increase in crystalline-silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) panel installations, which are projected to generate up to 78 million tonnes of end-of-life (EoL) waste by 2050. Existing recycling methods, including pyrolysis, mechanical shredding, and organic solvent dissolution, are often associated with high energy demands, toxic emissions, and the risk of damaging valuable solar cells. This study aims to present TeraCale, an innovative recycling system that integrates laser irradiation and chemical etching with Internet of Things (IoT) automation to deliver a sustainable and economically viable solution for c-Si panel waste. Methods: This study is formulating the idea of innovation by collecting and analyzing the data from various journals. The methodology comprises a three-stage treatment process, such as initial hydraulic dismantling of frames using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) for real-time monitoring; subsequent separation of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and glass layers using nanosecond and pulsed optical fiber lasers; and chemical etching with NaOH, HNO₃, and H₃PO₄ to recover high-purity metals. Findings: The study indicates that this integrated approach can achieve a silicon yield of 99.9984% and generate a total recycling profit of approximately 185.43 USD per kilogram of solar cells. The results demonstrate that automating the separation process significantly reduces manual labor and environmental risks while maximizing material recovery value. Conclusion: TeraCale constitutes a critical advancement in circular economy practices for the solar industry, effectively supporting Sustainable Development Goals 7 and 12. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this work is demonstrated by the unique combination of selective laser debonding and IoT-driven automation, providing a high-precision alternative to conventional destructive recycling techniques.
