| dc.description.abstract | Indonesia, renowned for its natural beauty, faces the
significant challenge of being the fifth-largest global waste
producer, generating 65.2 million tons annually in 2020.
Recent data from the World Bank and the National Waste
Management Information System (SIPSN) indicate that the
country produced 35.83 million tons of waste in 2022, with
37.37% inadequately managed and ending up in landfills.
Food waste constitutes 40.7% of this total, highlighting the
need for targeted reduction strategies. Addressing this, the
study focuses on designing a Recycling Mall adhering to
Indonesian standards (SNI) and sustainable architecture
principles. The goal is to promote circular economic growth
in Medan, transforming urban waste issues into
environmentally friendly income sources and improving
residents' quality of life. This research, involving field
surveys, literature reviews, and comparative analyses, aims
to advance waste management and circular economy
discourse in Indonesia, offering a transformative vision for
sustainable urban development. | en_US |
