The European Union defines waste as an extraneous object that is being discarded, intends to be discarded, or needs to be discarded, attributed to the fact it has the potential to be used. The world has become extremely alarmed as the number of wastes tends to increase. The sole option is to sustain waste through reusing and recycling, as there is no innovative way to effectively mitigate or avoid this from occurring. Numerous attempts by using green technology have been taken in recent years to recycle waste into various products, such as fertilizer in the form of a soil bed. Waste has been proven to be appropriate for usage in soil bed manufacture. Chemical waste known as sludge from one Oleochemical industry in Malaysia has been found significantly proven to be recycled as soil bed. Thus, the goal of this paper is to present the first section of the research study which is the development of a simulation model for soil beds known as the Zero Waste Simulator (Z-Waste). The Z-Waste simulator has been developed using the simulation technique called Discrete Event Simulation as it is suitable to model process-oriented modelling. The existing process flow of the soil bed production has been modelled and analyzed to check for bottlenecks and constraints. Various test scenarios were used to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the existing process flow. As a result, we found that daily consumed sludge per daily production of sludge has contributed to the significant impact on the soil bed production. The amount of sludge per unit product (soil bed) that is used is relatively small compared to the amount of sludge that was produced daily by the industry. This finding is crucial to prepare the industry for possible upscaling strategies that will help to achieve the zero-waste target by 2030. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
