Abstract

The Segre-Bag is an innovative waste segregation tool aimed at improving waste management by simplifying the sorting process and encouraging recycling. This study, conducted at UiTM Pasir Gudang with 20 participants, evaluated its effectiveness in reducing waste sent to landfills. Participants used Segre-Bags for two weeks, during which data on waste segregation practices and waste weight were collected. The results showed a 40% reduction in landfill waste, demonstrating the tool’s impact on improving waste segregation. Additionally, the study highlighted that Segre-Bag not only streamlined waste sorting but also encouraged more responsible waste disposal habits. In conclusion, the implementation of Segre-Bag significantly improved waste management practices, contributing to a 40% reduction in landfill waste while promoting recycling and sustainable waste disposal behaviors.
