SampahID
A solution to the Indonesian waste management issue, designed based on much research. It also provided cost calculation, UI design and how it is essential to apply the project. This project received the top 5% score of The University of Sydney Business School Creative and Analytical course (BUSS5221) and was invited to join the MARD Competition.
01
Summary
The goal of this business case is to develop a digital waste retribution application called SampahID (WasteID) to address the problem of waste management in Indonesia. This case focuses primarily on the integration of smart bins with SampahID to differentiate the type of waste, the weight of waste per household, calculate the retribution paid by citizens and prompt when the public is required to dispose of waste. Initially, SampahID will be applied in Jakarta, Indonesia's capital, which has the greatest percentage of daily transported waste (95.8%). It is expected that the retribution will be enough to fund the operations cost of waste management, creating a more proficient waste management infrastructure.

Background:
Waste Management in
Indonesia
Indonesia does not currently have the infrastructure to deal with its waste crisis:
-
24% of Indonesia’s waste is completely unmanaged
-
69% of Indonesia’s waste is sent to landfill
A sustainable solution must be implemented before the crisis escalates.
03
Consumer Profile
Indonesian citizen.
Based on the research, the current waste management system in Indonesian is:
-
Inconvenient
-
Inaccessible
-
Lacks Transparency
04
Existing Method in Indonesia:
Waste Retribution Collection
-
Inaccurate:
-
The amount of retribution payable is generally voluntary.
-
The calculation is based on the size of the household.
-
-
Ineffective:
-
It is a manual process where citizens must visit offices to pay.
-
The collection process is not scheduled.
-
Unclassified waste is not environmentally sustainable.
-

Literature Review
In Indonesia, 69% of the generated waste is sent to landfill, and over 20% is left unmanaged (Janetasari & Bokányi, 2022). However, attempted implementation of waste management solutions in Indonesia are not adequately accessible to citizens (Janetasari & Bokányi, 2022; Maryono & Hasmantika, 2019). Setiawan (2020) notes in a study conducted on households in Surabaya that the major factors influencing public receptivity to waste management were:
-
Convenience and time available to sort waste.
-
Education about the environmental impact of poor waste practices.

Proposed Solution:
SampahID
Citizens:
For people who are concerned about their waste disposal in Indonesia, SampahID offers an effective way to dispose of waste in a timely manner thus generating a more comfortable environment.
BENEFITS:
1. Increase the convenience of waste disposal and waste retribution payment.
2. More scheduled waste collection leads to a more comfortable environment.
Governments:
SampahID offers an accurate and effective method of waste retribution calculation and collection to ensure the money is well-allocated to the development of waste management infrastructure.
BENEFITS:
1. After the break-even point, the project’s revenue can be allocated to future waste management development.
2. Better waste management infrastructure to fix the country’s image.
3. Pioneering the same scheme for neighbouring Southeast Asian countries.
A smart waste information system, integrated into smartphone apps and garbage cans. This digitises manual processes currently taking place:
1. Measuring the weight of waste per household.
2. Calculation of waste retribution.
3. Reminder for garbage dumping to the public garbage can.
4. Payment of waste retribution by citizens.
