Green Engineering for Waste
Management System
in University—A Case Study
of Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia
Arif Kusumawanto and Mega Setyowati
Abstract Green engineering and green architecture are one of the concepts of sustainability by considering the economic feasibility and human well-being, and keeping in mind the risk factors to keep them to a minimum. The concept can be used as
a basis for making policies or regulations for the sustainability of a green campus.
Assessment and ranking of the sustainability of the green campus can use the UI
GreenMetric research method and has 6 criteria. Waste management is one of the
criteria that must be met to achieve sustainability of the green campus program and
has a weight of 18% of the total assessment. Green engineering has 12 principles that
can be used as a basis for the realization of green campus sustainability, especially
in the waste management system. Universitas Gadjah Mada has implemented the 12
principles of green engineering ranging from the preparation of the Standard Operational Procedure system for campus waste management to the selection of renewable
waste processing technology in accordance with the type of campus waste generation. Based on the GreenMetric valuation method regarding the waste management
system, Universitas Gadjah Mada has a weight value of 10.50% of the total 18%.
