Business Model of Resident Participation Based Sustainable Bioreactor Landfill Gas: Case Study of the City of Depok

Municipal solid waste (MSW) is a problem in many big cities worldwide. Treating the MSW with better waste management, i.e., bioreactor plant, can turn the waste into a useful thing, i.e., energy; waste to energy (WtE): Converting the methane gas produced during the decomposition of the organic waste compounds to electricity. In addition, the bioreactor also saves landfill space, and minimizes spoiling the environment. However, benefits come with costs, i.e., the magnitude of the investment involved, and the complexity of running the bioreactor project compared to conventional landfill. This study proposes a business model for sustainable bioreactor landfills based on resident participation (RSLFG), and shows the model’s applicability. The study was carried out on the basis of regulations, and mechanisms to implement the model. As a result, a limited liability company is proposed as the best suit entity type to run the project. Even though all types of funding collection mechanisms are feasible, direct-personal collection by collector officers is better than indirect-machine collection, virtual account whether using ATM, internet banking, or mobile banking.
