Sustainable Post-mining Management is a Practical Solution in Ecology Restoration and Green Energy Innovation
No full textIndonesia has a long history of mining. While this has contributed to the global mining industry, it has also led to environmental problems from illegal mining operations. These operations have negatively impacted both the local population and the surrounding environment. This research aims to explore a sustainable solution: re-mining abandoned mine sites and processing the extracted minerals (like silica) into valuable products for green energy. This approach can create economic opportunities and help restore the environment. This study reviews existing research on land restoration and silica processing. It focuses on ways to repurpose former mining areas while also extracting and refining valuable materials like silica for use in green technologies. Restoring degraded mining land requires careful planning and technical solutions. Scientists can improve soil quality and create suitable conditions for new plant growth. Silica, a common by-product of mining, has many potential applications in green energy products. This research proposes a sustainable business model to utilize silica for solar panels, batteries, and other green technologies. Re-mining abandoned mine sites and processing the minerals can be a sustainable way to manage post-mining areas. This approach can benefit both the environment and the economy by creating jobs and producing valuable materials for green energy
Utilizing the Vehicle Routing Problem Model to Determine Restaurant Outlet Waste Transport Routes
No full textThe capital’s traffic density affects the way waste is transported as well. The utilization of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) approach for determining the optimal route for the transportation of food waste from PT. ABC restaurants are covered in this study. PT. ABC owns a number of restaurants that are located on routes with traffic regulations that restrict the number of vehicles on the road. As a result, PT. ABC’s waste delivery vehicles must find new routes in order to continue moving waste. The transportation trucks return to the waste collecting place later than expected since they picked another route. It is anticipated that by streamlining the waste transportation route, the total time and distance required will be reduced. The VRP method is utilized to make the existing waste pickup route more effective and efficient. The suggested route was derived from the data processing procedure under two different scenarios: normal traffic conditions and vehicle restrictions. In the suggested route, 111 minutes would be needed to travel 36.3 km in normal conditions. In the meantime, the suggested trip took 126 minutes to complete and covered 46.8 km when vehicle restrictions were in place

The study concludes that addressing the leadership skills gap is crucial for a successful energy transition, and recommends targeted policy interventions and innovative educational strategies to build a resilient leadership workforce capable of driving sustainable energy initiatives
Raising Awareness and Sustainable Action as Student Engagement in Energy Sustainability at Universitas Mercu Buana Dewi Nusraningrum
No full textThe increase in awareness and sustainable action as student involvement in energy sustainability at Mercu Buana University is driven by the global urgency to overcome climate change and limited energy resources, as well as the strategic role of higher education in forming a generation that is aware of the importance of sustainable energy practices. This research was conducted to explore the active engagement of students who have a role as agents of change in energy sustainability efforts within Universitas Mercu Buana (UMB). The right qualitative research method to increase awareness and sustainable action as student involvement in energy sustainability at Universitas Mercu Buana is to conduct in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGD) involving student representatives from six faculties to explore their perceptions, motivations, and barriers related to energy sustainability initiatives on campus. The results show that students from the six faculties at Universitas Mercu Buana have varying awareness of energy sustainability, with some faculties being more responsive to the initiative, while others require a more intensive and relevant approach to education. The implication is that Universitas Mercu Buana needs to design an educational strategy tailored to the needs and characteristics of each faculty to increase student involvement equally in energy sustainability
Fostering Sustainable Partnership in the Halal Sector: A Triple Helix Model for Enhanced Food Security and Graduate Employability
No full textThe global food system faces significant challenges in ensuring food security, food safety, and sustainability, which are vital for public health and economic stability. In Malaysia, the halal food supply chain is under increasing pressure to meet the rising demand for Shariah-compliant practices while also addressing sustainability concerns. However, the current system lacks an integrated framework that brings together universities, industries, and government agencies. Furthermore, there is a notable skills gap among graduates, making it difficult for them to meet industry requirements, thereby limiting their employability. Given these challenges, there is an urgent need for a model that not only enhances food security and safety but also improves the employability of graduates through sustainable and Shariah-compliant practice. This research seeks to address these issues by developing a sustainable Shariah-compliant model that enhances Malaysia’s food security and safety. The approach will be grounded in the triple helix model, which fosters collaboration between academia, industry, and government. This model aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge, industrial needs, and government policies. This research uses quantitative research, in the form of surveys among graduates and employers, will explore the existing skill gap and assess metrics related to food safety and security. The expected outcomes of this research are multifaceted. First, it aims to enhance food security by developing a comprehensive model for Shariah-compliant food production that aligns with Malaysia’s sustainability and food safety goals. Second, the employability of graduates will be significantly improved through the acquisition of industry-relevant skills, particularly in the halal sector. Third, the research will strengthen collaboration between academia, industry, and government, leading to more effective knowledge transfer, policy-making, and industrial innovation. Finally, the research will promote sustainability within halal practices, encouraging the halal industry to adopt environmentally friendly methods without compromising Shariah compliance
