Abstract
Over the past decade, zero waste emerged as one of the promising concepts for waste management. Many parties have introduced this concept as a new way of waste management, aiming to reduce as little amount of waste generated as possible and send nothing to landfills. To measure the success of the zero waste implementation, some set of indicators have been developed. Although these were claimed to be successful after their implementation, very often they are not applicable to other regions or countries. Therefore, this study recommends developing the Zero Waste Management Index, which fits with local or regional conditions. This paper will discuss a framework for developing the West Java Zero Waste Management Index (WJZWMI). It will outline urban solid waste problem in West Java, and a brief review of existing zero waste indexes. Further, it will emphasize on the conceptual framework of the WJZWMI, which then results in potential long list indicators as preliminary results of this study, while also charting pathways for future works in developing a comprehensive zero waste management index for West Java Province.
